Streamline Cannonball |
| It’s a long steel rail and a short cross tie |
| I’m on my way back home |
| I’m on that train, the king of them all |
| That Streamline Cannonball |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
| The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
| I can see a smile on the engineer’s face |
| And although he’s old and gray |
| A contented heart, he waits for his call |
| On the Streamline Cannonball |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
| The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
| The headlight beams out in the night |
| And the firebox flash you can see |
| I ride the blinds. |
| It’s the life that I love |
| Lord, it’s home sweet home to me |
| She moves along like a cannonball |
| Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
| The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
| As she travels through the night |
