Cannon Ball Blues - Carter Family

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 over-haul

Catch the train they call the Cannonball

From Buffalo to Washington

Yonder comes the train coming down the track

Carry me away but ain’t it going to 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 doggone 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
