Streamlined Cannonball This long steel rail a short crosstie I'm on my way back home I'm on a train the king of them all that Streamlined Cannonball She moves along like a cannonball like a star in its havenly flight This lonesome sound from the whistle you love as she travels through the night I can see the smile of the engineer's face and although he's old and gray A contented heart he awaits of his call of the Streamlined Cannonball Her headlight gleams out into the night and the firebox flash you see I ride them blinds and the lights I love are home sweet home to me
