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
