Fantastic Videos of Railroading Songs - The Streamline Cannonball
A long steel rail, a short cross tie, I'm on my way back home, I'm on the train, the queen of them all, The streamline cannonball.
She moves along like a cannonball, Like a star in it's heavenly flight, The lonesome sound from the whistle you love, As it travels through the night.
