Wabash Cannonball From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore She came down from Birmingham one cold December day Our eastern states are dandies so the people always say Now heres to daddy claxton may his name forever stand Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
Roy Acuff
From the queen of flowing mountains to the Southbell by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
She's a combination on the Wabash Cannonball
As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say
"Theres a girl from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters flow
No changes on be taken on that Wabash Cannonball
And always be remembered round the course of Alabam
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall
We'll carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobos call
You're travelin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
