Streamlined Cannonball Lyrics

Streamlined Cannonball - Roy Acuff

A long steel rail a short crosstie

I'm on my way back home

I'm on the train the king of them all

That Streamlined Cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball

Like a star in its heavenly flight

This lonesome sound of the whistle you love

As she travels through the night

Her headlight gleams out in the night

The firebox flash you see

The blinds I ride the lights that I love

It's home sweet home to me

She moves along like a cannonball

Like a star in its heavenly flight

This lonesome sound of the whistle you love

As she travels through the night

I can see the smile of the engineer

Although he's old and gray

A contented heart he awaits a call

Of the Streamlined Cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball

Like a star in its heavenly flight

This lonesome sound of the whistle you love

 

As she travels through the night
