Lyrics Southern Cannon Ball - Jimmie Rodgers
I
had
to
quit
rail
rollin'
and
it
didn't
agree
at
all
There
was
always
something
wrong
with
the
Southern
Cannonball
I
once
loved
a
maiden
she
was
fair
and
tall
Her
pa
he
was
the
engineer
on
the
Southern
Cannonball
She
promised
she
would
wed
me
and
we
married
in
the
month
of
June
And
go
to
the
magic
island
to
spend
our
honeymoon
At
last
my
dreams
were
shattered
when
she
put
me
off
of
the
stall
She
said
the
whistle
was
broken
on
the
Southern
Cannonball
I
loved
this
girl
so
dearly
so
I
fixed
the
whistle
back
The
next
thing
she
told
me
was
the
cabooses
off
of
the
track
But
days
and
nights
a
labored
to
get
this
back
off
of
a
train
Always
ready
for
my
highball
when
the
bell
refused
to
ring
I
fixed
the
bell
in
a
jiffy
and
I
called
the
preacher
done
Who
married
us
in
the
old
boxcar
for
the
train
refused
to
run
We
made
our
home
in
a
boomer
shack
I
loved
that
southern
sky
And
we
rocked
the
baby
to
sleep
each
night
by
a
train
whistle
