You can wash my jumpers and starch my overalls
You can catch that train that they call the Cannonball
From Baltimore to Washington
From old Baltimore to Washington boys
Old Baltimore to Washington
Old Baltimore to Washington
From Baltimore to Washington
Well the hoboes know me up and down the line
But they don't know the troubles on my mind
I guess they got troubles too
Well I guess they got troubles too boys
I guess they got troubles too
I guess they got troubles too
Well maybe they got troubles too
And the police know me everywhere I land
But they do not know the worries on my hand
But maybe they got worries too
Well I guess they got worries too boys
I guess they got worries too
I guess they got worries too
Well maybe they got worries too
Well, I'm going out west, I'm going out west this fall
If my luck don't change well I won't be back at all
From Baltimore to Washington
Hums
From old Baltimore to Washington
From Baltimore to Washington
You can catch that train that they call the Cannonball
From Baltimore to Washington
From old Baltimore to Washington boys
Old Baltimore to Washington
Old Baltimore to Washington
From Baltimore to Washington
Well the hoboes know me up and down the line
But they don't know the troubles on my mind
I guess they got troubles too
Well I guess they got troubles too boys
I guess they got troubles too
I guess they got troubles too
Well maybe they got troubles too
And the police know me everywhere I land
But they do not know the worries on my hand
But maybe they got worries too
Well I guess they got worries too boys
I guess they got worries too
I guess they got worries too
Well maybe they got worries too
Well, I'm going out west, I'm going out west this fall
If my luck don't change well I won't be back at all
From Baltimore to Washington
Hums
From old Baltimore to Washington
From Baltimore to Washington

The Cisco Houston Collection 1944-61 - Released 2023
The words don't look like much when removed from Cisco's wonderful singing and playing. This is a splendid performance, worthy of being remastered and certainly among the very best of the Vanguard Years. The same song appears with Woody singing on Muleskinner Blues, Volume 2 of the Asch Recordings, with a different first verse but the same wonderful guitar. He must have liked this tune, for he plays it with a gusto that is a treat.
