I hate to hear her weep and moan
Cannonball blow her lonesome horn
Time for the old cannibal
To come bailin' down on me
Roll me over, set the poor boy free
Old cannonball barrel down me
Good God, set the poor boy free
Roll me over, get my poor heart ease
With the cannonball barrel down
Yeah, that old cannonball
I hate to hear her weep and moan
The cannonball blower, lonesome home
Weep and moan, poor girl, weep and moan
For her man, he's dead and gone
I hate to hear a widow mourn
A can of barf, Lord, and blow some horn
Dead and gone, good God, dead and gone
Can you hear her weep and moan?
Make me wish you had never been born
Heard a cannonball blow up,
Heard that old cannonball
Can he hear her weepin' bones?
Cannibals out of lonesome homes
Can he hear her weepin' bones?
For her man's getting old
