Wabash Cannonball

From the great Atlantic ocean

To the wide Pacific shore

From the queen of flowing mountains

To the southbelt by the shore

She's mighty tall and handsome

And known quite well by all

She's the combination

On the Wabash Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham

One cold December day

As she rolled into the station

You could hear all the people say

There's a girl from Tennessee

She's long and she's tall

She came down from Birmingham

On the Wabash Cannonball

Our eastern states are dandies

So the people always say

From New York to St. Louis

And Chicago by the way

From the hills of Minnesota

Where the rippling waters fall

No changes can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball

Here's to Daddy Claxton

May his name forever stand

And always be remembered

'Round the courts of Alabam

His earthly race is over

And the curtains round him fall

We'll carry home to vic'try

On the Wabash Cannonball

Listen to the jingle

And the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodlands

Through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine

Hear that lonesome hobo squall

You're travlin' through the jungles

On the Wabash Cannonball
