Cannon Ball Blues
The Original Carter Family

Oh, listen to the train coming down the line

Trying to make up all their lost time

From Buffalo to Washington


You can wash my jumper, starch my overalls

Catch a train they call the Cannonball

From Buffalo to Washington


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



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


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
