Bilingual
(Waa-wa-waoo) that's the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
A long steel rail, a short crosstie
I'm on my way back home
The train I ride, is the queen of them all
The Streamlined Cannonball
I can see the smile of the engineer
Although he's old and grey
A contented heart, he waits for the call
Of the Steamlined Cannonball
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star on it's heavenly flight
It's a lonesome sound from the whistle you love
As it travels through the night
Her headlights gleam out in the night
The firebox flash you see
Is the blonde I like and the wife that I love
Is home, sweet home, to me
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star on its heavenly flight
It's the lonesome sound from the whistle you love
As she travels through the night (Waa-wa-waoo)
