Frank Hutchison - Cannon Ball Blues lyrics

Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a good man a-feelin' bad Oh the blues ain't nothin' but a good man a-feelin' bad I know that feelin', it's one I've often had Went to the bedside, looked in the woman's face I went to the bedside, and I looked in the woman's face "I love you, honey, but I don't like your low-down ways." I opened up the door and I stepped out on the ground I opened up the door and I stepped out on the ground "Good-bye, honey, I'm Alabamoh bound." Yonder come that train, comin' down the railroad track Yonder comes that train, she's comin' down the railroad track She'll take me away, but she ain't a-gonna bring me back When I leave here, don't you wear no black Oh, when I leave here, honey, don't you wear no black If you do, my ghost's gonna sneak right back That train I ride, she's called the Cannonball That train I ride, she's called the Cannonball There's sixteen coaches, she carries no blinds at all Gonna lay my head down on some railroad line Gonna lay my head down on some railroad line Let the Cannonball try and pacify my mind I looked out the window, as fur as I could see I looked out the window, as fur as I could see While the bra** band a-playin', "Nearer My God To Thee"
