The Cannon-Ball

The Cannon-Ball - The Carter Family

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 ain't gonna carry me back

My honey babe my blue eyed babe

My baby left me she even took my shoes

Enough to give me the doggone worried blues

She is 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
