Cannon Ball Blues Lyrics - Singles - Carter Family

Oh, listen to the train coming down the line 

Trying to make up all their lost time 

From Buffalo to Washington 

You can wash my jumper starch my overalls 

Catch a train they call the Cannonball 

From Buffalo to Washington 

My baby's left me, she even took my shoes 

Enough to give a man these doggone worried blues 

She's gone, she's solid gone 

Yonder comes the train, coming down the track 

Carry me away but it ain't gonna carry me back 

My honey babe, my blue eyed babe
