1
I had to quit rail rollin' and it didn't agree at all
2
There was always something wrong with the Southern Cannonball
3
I once loved a maiden she was fair and tall
4
Her pa, he was the engineer on the Southern Cannonball
5
She promised she would wed me and we married in the month of June
6
And go to the magic island to spend our honeymoon
7
At last my dreams were shattered when she put me off of the stall
8
She said the whistle was broken on the Southern Cannonball
9
I loved this girl so dearly so I fixed the whistle back
10
The next thing she told me was the cabooses off of the track
11
But days and nights a labored to get this back off of a train
12
Always ready for my highball when the bell refused to ring
13
I fixed the bell in a jiffy and I called the preacher done
14
Who married us in the old boxcar for the train refused to run
15
We made our home in a boomer shack, I loved that southern sky
16
And we rocked the baby to sleep each night by a train whistle lullaby
