To flesh out Mark's lyrics from the Tom Rush album.... This is from memory, mind you...

You can wash my jumper, baby, starch my overalls,
I'm gonna ride that train that they call The Cannonball
From Buffalo, down to Washington.

Yonder comes the train, comin' down the track
Carryin' her away but it will not bring her back
My Honey Babe, my blue-eyed girl

CHORUS: Now I'm down here crying cause she's gone
Feel like I'm dying cause she's gone
She's solid gone

You know my baby left me, even took my shoes
'Nuff to give a man them doggone worried blues
Now she's gone, she's solid gone

Yonder comes that train, whistlin' round the curve
Whistlin' and blowin', straining every nerve
And now she's gone, my blue-eyed babe

CHORUS

I'm goin' up north, goin' up north next fall
If my luck don't change then I won't be back at all
My Honey Babe, I'm leavin' you
