Cannonball Blues Tab

by Carter Family


[]Oh, listen to the train coming down the line,

trying to make up []all of her lost time,

from Buff[]alooo...[] to  Washing[]ton.


[]You can wash my jumper starch my overalls,

catch the train []they call the Cannonball,

from Buff[]alooo...[] to  Washing[]ton.



[]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.

 

[G]Yonder comes the train coming down the track,

carry me away, but it [C]ain’t gonna carry me back,

my honey [G]babe...[D]  my blue eyed [G] babe.

 

[G] I'm going up north, I'm going up north this fall,

if luck don't change [C] I won’t be back at all,

my honey [G]babe....  [D] I'm leaving  [G] you.
