Ol' Cannonball

(album: Keys To The Kingdom - 2011)

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, good god, weep and moan
I hate a cannonball sound a lonesome home

Time for the ol' cannonball
Come barreling 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
I hate to hear a widow moan
The cannonball blow a lonesome home

Dead and gone, good god, dead and gone
Can you hear her weep and moan
It make you wish you 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
Cannonball sound a lonesome home
Can he hear her weep and moan
Before her man is dead and gone
