Cannonball Blues Lyrics

Oh, listen to the train coming down the line
Trying to make up all of her lost time
From Buffalo to Washington

You can wash my jumper, starch my overalls
Catch that train they call the Cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington

My baby left me, he even he took my shoes
Enough to give a girl these doggone worried blues
He's gone, he's solid gone

Yonder comes a train coming down the track
Carrying me away, but it ain't gonna carry me back
Honey babe, I'm leaving you

I'm a going up north, I'm a going up north this fall
If luck don't change
I won't be back at all
Honey babe, I'm leaving you
