Lyrics for Cannon Ball Blues

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 the train they call the Cannonball From Buffalo to Washington 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 My baby's left me she even took my shoes Enough to give a man These doggoned worried blues She's gone she's solid gone I'm going up north I'm going up north this fall If luck don't change I won't be back at all My honey babe I'm leaving you
