Hank Snow - Streamlined Cannonball Lyrics
He's the streamlined cannonballA long steel rail a short cross tieI'm on my way back homeI'm on the train the king of them allThe Streamlined CannonballOh, she climbs along like a cannonballLike a star on its heavenly flightThis lonesome sound of the whistle you loveAs she travels through the nightHer headlight gleams out into the nightHer firebox flash you seeThe blinds I ride and the lights I loveAre home sweet home to meOh, she climbs along like a cannonballLike a star on its heavenly flightThis lonesome sound of the whistle you loveAs she travels through the nightThe lonesome sound of the whistle you loveThe Streamlined CannonballI can see the smile of an engineerAlthough he's old and grayA contented heart he awaits back homeOf the Streamlined CannonballOh, she climbs along like a cannonballLike a star on its heavenly flightThis lonesome sound of the whistle you loveAs she travels through the night
