Cannon Ball Blues by Sloppy Henry Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1924

One mor-, mornin' chilled out before the trees
It was-, mornin' chilled out before the trees
At the station, drowning, honey just out of New Orleans

Gettin' them railroad blues, mama, done got all in my bones
Them railroad blues, one morning, honey done got all in my bones
I thought about my brownie, who'd be all the way from home

When them blues got on me, got me just like a shower of rain
When them blues get on me, just like a shower of rain
Hon, you can call me so lonesome, cry [?]

Its a long time

This is your blues table, [?] please
This is your blues table, [?] please
Well, I want you to sit on my lap mama, give my poor heart ease

Train left Cincinnati, rolled and didn't stop
You 'aught see that Cannonball and [?]
Put on my jumper, went out on my overhauls
I'm gonna leave this town, oh, ha, on a train a'called the cannonball
