Streamline Cannonball Doc Watson

[Verse]
It's a long steel rail
And a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
I'm on that train
The king of them all
That Streamline Cannonball

[Chorus]
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound from the whistle you love
As she travels through the night

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
I can see a smile
On the engineer's face
And although he's old and grey
A contented heart
He waits for his call
On that Streamline Cannonball

[Chorus]
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound from thе whistle you love
As she travеls through the night
