Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered. There beneath the grave lies a girl that I love. She was called from this earth a jewel from heaven.
Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered. Buried deep in her grave lies the one that I love. She was called from this earth, a jewel for Heaven.

There were no loved one to weep over her. Not a tear did I see shed. For the lady they pulled from that muddy old river. No one ever came to claim their dead.
A long steel rail a short cross-tie I'm on my way back home. I'm on the train the king of them all the Streamlined Cannonball. Oh she climbs along like a cannonball like a star on its heavenly flight.

As long as I live if it be one hour. Or if it be one hundred years. I'll keep rememberin' forever and ever. I'll love you dear, as long as I live. . It was easy said that night we parted.
Somewhere here among these many thousands. Of Americans who all died true and brave. That's where I know I'll find him resting. So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave.
A long steel rail and a short crosstie. I'm on my way back home. I'm on the train, the king of them all. The Streamlined Cannonball. . (Chorus). Oh, she drives along like a cannonball.
(It's the Streamlined Cannonball). A long steel rail a short crosstie I'm on my way back home. I'm on a train the king of them all the Streamlined Cannonball.
