[G]Oh, listen to the train coming down the line,
trying to make up [C]all of her lost time,
from Buff[G]alooo...[D] to Washing[G]ton.
[G]You can wash my jumper starch my overalls,
catch the train [C]they call the Cannonball,
from Buff[G]alooo...[D] to Washing[G]ton.
[G]My baby's left me, she even took my shoes,
enough to give a man these [C] doggone worried blues,

[G]Yonder comes the train coming down the track,

my honey [G]babe...[D] my blue eyed [G] babe.

if luck don't change [C] I won’t be back at all,
my honey [G]babe.... [D] I'm leaving [G] you.
