[1] It's a long steel rail and a short cross [17] tie
I'm [4] on my way back [1] home
I'm on that [4] train the [1] king of them [6m] all
That [1] streamline [5] cannon [1] ball
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
The headlight beams out through the night
And the firebox flash you can see
I ride them blinds it's the life that I love
Lord it's home sweet home to me
I can see a smile on the engineer's face
And although he's old and gray
A contented heart he waits for his call
On that streamline cannonball
[1] It's a long steel rail and a short cross [17] tie
I'm [4] on my way back [1] home
I'm on that [4] train the [1] king of them [6m] all
That [1] streamline [5] cannon [1] ball
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
The headlight beams out through the night
And the firebox flash you can see
I ride them blinds it's the life that I love
Lord it's home sweet home to me
I can see a smile on the engineer's face
And although he's old and gray
A contented heart he waits for his call
On that streamline cannonball
