lyrics
You can wash my jumpers, starch my overalls
Catch that train they call the cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
Listen to the that train, comin' on down the line
Tryin' to make up for all of its lost time
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
Listen to that train, comin' on down the track
Carry me away but it ain't gonna carry me back
From Buffalo to Washington
Oh my baby left me, she even took my shoes
It's enough to give a man those doggone walkin' blues
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
Well I'm goin' up north, I'm goin' up north this fall
If my luck don't change I won't be back at all
From Buffalo to Washington
You can wash my jumpers, starch my overalls
Catch that train they call the cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
Catch that train they call the cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
Listen to the that train, comin' on down the line
Tryin' to make up for all of its lost time
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
Listen to that train, comin' on down the track
Carry me away but it ain't gonna carry me back
From Buffalo to Washington
Oh my baby left me, she even took my shoes
It's enough to give a man those doggone walkin' blues
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
Well I'm goin' up north, I'm goin' up north this fall
If my luck don't change I won't be back at all
From Buffalo to Washington
You can wash my jumpers, starch my overalls
Catch that train they call the cannonball
From Buffalo to Washington
Now I'm cryin' 'cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause she's gone
Solid gone
