Cannonball Blues

Oh listen to the train

Comin' down the line

Tryin' to make up all of her lost time

From Buffalo to Washington

I'm gonna wash my jumper

Starch my overalls

Catch a train they call a cannonball

From Buffalo to Washington

My baby left me

He even took my shoes

Enough to give a gal the shotgun worried blues

He's a gun

Just solid gone

I'm goin' up north

I'm goin' up this far

If love don't change I won't be back at all

My honey babe

My brown eyed bear

Oh listen to the train comin' down the track

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

My honey babe

I'm leavin' you
