I had to quit railroadin'
We 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
Break (fiddle)
She promised she would wed me
In the merry 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 with a stall
She said the whistle was broken on
The Southern Cannonball
Break (guitar)
I loved this girl sincerely
So I fixed the whistle back
The next thing she told me was
The caboose is off of the track
