Ol’ Cannonball Songtext
von Luther Dickinson

Yeah, that ol′ cannonball
Sound a lonesome home
I hate to hear her weep and moan
The cannonball blow a lonesome home

Time for the ol' cannonball
Come barrelin′ down on me
And roll me over
Set the poor boy free
Let the cannonball barrel down on me
Set the poor boy free
Good God, set that poor boy free
Roll me over
Get my poor heart eased
Let the cannonball barrel down on me


Yeah, that ol' cannonball
Sound a lonesome home
I hate to hear her weep and moan
The cannonball blow a lonesome home

Weep and moan
Poor girl, weep and moan
For her man is dead and gone
It make you wish had never been born
Yeah, the cannonball blow a lonesome home

Yeah, that ol' cannonball
Sound a lonesome home
Can he hear her weep and moan
Before her man is dead and gone?
Can he hear her weep and moan
Before her man is dead and gone?
