Cannon Ball Blues Lyrics


Oh, listen to the train coming down the line
Trying to make up all their lost time
From Buffalo to WashingtonYou can wash my jumper starch my overalls
Catch a train they call the Cannonball
From Buffalo to WashingtonMy baby's left me, she even took my shoes
Enough to give a man these doggone worried blues
She's gone, she's solid goneYonder comes the train, coming down the track
Carry me away but it ain't gonna carry me back
My honey babe, my blue eyed babeI'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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Carter Family was a country music group that performed and recorded between 1927 and 1943. Their music had a profound impact on later bluegrass, country, pop and rock musicians, as well as on the U.S. folk revival of the 1960s. The original group consisted of Alvin Pleasant Delaney Carter (A.P.; 1891-1960), his wife, Sara Dougherty Carter (autoharp and guitar; 1898-1979), and Maybelle Addington Carter (guitar; 1909-1978).
