Floyd Canada, a black Texan cowboy who was about four years older than A.P., was singing these lines by 1915: "But give me my shoes, and press my overalls" "... train they call the Cannonball" "... it takes a worried woman to sing a worry song" "I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long" "The train I ride is sixteen coaches long" ("Notes on Folk-Lore of Texas" by W. Prescott Webb, _The Journal of American Folklore_ Jul.-Sep. 1915)
