Song language: English
The Streamlined Cannon Ball |
| A long steel rail a short cross tie |
| I’m on my way back home |
| I’m on the train the king of them all |
| That Streamlined Cannonball |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in its heavenly flight |
| This lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
| Her headlight gleams out in the night |
| The firebox flash you see |
| The blinds I ride, the lights that I love |
| It’s home sweet home to me |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in its heavenly flight |
| This lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
| I can see the smile of the engineer |
| Although he’s old and gray |
| A contented heart he awaits a call |
| Of the Streamlined Cannonball |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in its heavenly flight |
| This lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
