Thread Name: Lyr Req: Cannon Ball Blues (Carter Family)
Subject: RE: Lyrics for train called cannonball
I've been singing this song for about four years now, but I found an extra verse that fits between the first and third as posted by Jim Dixon earlier. I don't remember where I heard it, but probably from a Carter recording.

Now I'm down here, cryin' 'cause he's gone
Feel like I'm dyin' 'cause he's gone
(slight pause in phrasing) he's solid gone.

I've also heard percormers call the song "Solid Gone"
