Southern Cannonball - Hank Snow/Anita Carter[00:00:00]
I had to quit rail rollin' and it didn't agree at all[00:00:08]
There was always something wrong[00:00:13]
With the Southern Cannonball[00:00:15]
I once loved a maiden she was fair and tall[00:00:18]
Her pa he was the engineer on the Southern Cannonball[00:00:22]
She promised she would wed me[00:00:45]
And we married in the month of June[00:00:48]
And go to the magic island to spend our honeymoon[00:00:50]
At last my dreams were shattered[00:00:55]
When she put me off of the stall[00:00:57]
She said the whistle was broken on the Southern Cannonball[00:00:59]
I loved this girl so dearly[00:01:22]
So I fixed the whistle back[00:01:25]
The next thing she told me[00:01:27]
Was the cabooses off of the track[00:01:29]
But days and nights a labored[00:01:32]
To get this back off of a train[00:01:34]
Always ready for my highball[00:01:36]
When the bell refused to ring[00:01:38]
I fixed the bell in a jiffy[00:01:48]
And I called the preacher done[00:01:50]
Who married us in the old boxcar[00:01:52]
For the train refused to run[00:01:54]
We mede our home in a boomer shack[00:01:57]
I loved that southern sky[00:02:00]
And we rocked the baby to sleep[00:02:02]
Each night by a train whistle lullaby[00:02:03]
