Cannonball Blues

(C) Listen to the train
coming down the (C7) line
(F) Trying to make up
for all her lost (C) time
From Buffa (G7) lo
to Washing (C) ton

You can wash my jumper
starch my over (C7) alls
(F) Catch the train
they call the Cannon (C) ball
From Buffa (G7) lo
to Washing (C) ton

My baby's left me
She even took my (C7) shoes
(F) Enough to give a man
those doggone worry (C) blues
She is (G7) gone
she's solid (C) gone

Yonder comes a train
comin' down the (C7) track
(F) Carry me away
but it ain't gonna carry me (C) back
My honey (G7) babe
My blue eyed (C) babe

Going up north
Going up north this (C7) fall
If (F) luck don't change
I won't be back at (C) all
My honey (G7) babe
I'm leaving (C) you

Listen to the train
coming down the (C7) line
(F) Trying to make up
for all her lost (C) time
From Buffa (G7) lo
to Washing (C) ton

I normally practice/relax with my uke for an hour or so every night. I've just looked at the clock and, after discovering your videos earlier tonight, I've been playing along with you for four hours.

Thank you!

@cariboubill Thanks Bill... This is a Carter Family song and that kind of strumming seems to work well with their material.

Darn nice song. Seems like a different style of playing from what I've heard you do before. Sounds good. ( I don't mean to imply that you don't always sound good.) Just like those tinkley high notes and the base runs. ...Bill
