(He's the Streamlined Cannonball)A long steel rail a short crosstie I'm on my way back homeI'm on the train the king of them all the Streamlined CannonballOh she climbs along like a cannonball like a star on its heavenly flightThis lonesome sound of the whistle you love as she travels through the nightHer headlight gleams out into the night her firebox flash you seeThe blinds I ride and the lights I love are home sweet home to meOh she climbs along.(The lonesome sound of the whistle you love the Streamlined Cannonball)I can see the smile of an engineer although he's old and grayA contented heart he awaits back home of the Streamlined CannonballOh she climbs along.
