You can wash my jumper starch my overalls
Catch that train they call the Cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
Yonder comes the train coming down the track
Carrying me away but it aint 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’s gone she’s solid gone
I’m going up north I’m going up north this fall
If my luck don’t change I wont be back at all
My honey babe I’m leaving you
