You can wash my jumper, starch my overalls;

Catch that train they call the Cannonball.

From Buffalo, to Washington.

CHORUS:
(Record shown as \"Verse 2\")
Yonder comes the train, coming down the track;
It\'ll carry me away, but it aint going to carry me back.
My honey babe,  my blue-eyed babe.

My baby left me she even took my shoes,
Enough to give me the doggone weary blues;
She\'s gone, she\'s solid gone.
(CHORUS)

I\'m going up north, I\'m going up north this fall.
If luck don\'t change, I won\'t be back at all.
My honey babe, I\'m leaving you.
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)

The second verse doesn't have to be a "chorus".
In my personal rendition of the song, I
re-arranged the music, and made it the "chorus",
the music here is based on the original tune.
