| I had to quit rail rollin' and it didn’t agree at all |
| There was always something wrong with the Southern Cannonball |
| I once loved a maiden she was fair and tall |
| Her pa he was the engineer on the Southern Cannonball |
| She promised she would wed me and we married in the month of June |
| And go to the magic island to spend our honeymoon |
| At last my dreams were shattered when she put me off of the stall |
| She said the whistle was broken on the Southern Cannonball |
| I loved this girl so dearly so I fixed the whistle back |
| The next thing she told me was the cabooses off of the track |
| But days and nights a labored to get this back off of a train |
| Always ready for my highball when the bell refused to ring |
| I fixed the bell in a jiffy and I called the preacher done |
| Who married us in the old boxcar for the train refused to run |
| We made our home in a boomer shack I loved that southern sky |
| And we rocked the baby to sleep each night by a train whistle lullaby |
