The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball

A long steel rail and a short cross tie (note 1)
I'm on my way back home
The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball

I can see the smile of the engineer
And although he's old and gray
Contented heart, he waits for the call
The streamline cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound of the whistle I love
As she rambles through the night
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball

The train I ride is the queen of them all
The streamline cannonball
