The original of course is the Carter Family's Cannonball Blues:
You can starch my jumper, wash my overalls
To catch that train that they call the Cannonball
from Buffalo to Washington

can you imagine what it must have been like for young guitarists in 1928 or so to hear that picking style for the first time and say WOW I didn't know you could play melody like that??!! I gotta learn to do that!! and many of them did. . . Maybelle is a wonderful role model
