  • SOUTHERN CANNONBALL
  • (Jimmie Rodgers - Raymond E. Hall)
  • '33 Peer International
  • 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
