Original lyrics by Joe "Cannonball" Lewis, adapted by Kyle "Addison Beauchamp" Soyer

lyrics

I used to be a breakman
I've worked as engineer
Firemen is mighty hot
Here's what I always hear
As every engine rumbles by
It lets out this refrain
A wail a moan a whistle
It's driving me insane

The Pan-American Flyer
Express and Santa Fe
The Cannonball and Hummingbird
Are screaming night and day
In dreams I hear that Cannonball
A-calling for the track
And then I hear that freight train whistle
Answer him right back

Now if I go to Heaven
They'll send me in a plane
So I won't hear that whistle blowin'
On that glory train
Away we'll drive and rollin'
Gonna cause a worried mind
Follow then Mount Zion's whistle
Screamin' down the line
