Wabash cannonball



From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of flowin' mountains to the southland by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
She's the mighty combination of the Wabash cannonball


CHO:
	Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
	As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore
	Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's squall
	While traveling through the jungle 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


CHO


Here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the courts of Alabam
His earthly race is over and as the curtains round him fall
We'll carry him home to victory on the Wabash cannonball


CHO


I’ve rode the I.C.  Limited also the Royal Blue
And I have travelled many a mile on mail train number two
I’ve rode those highball trains from coast to coast that’s all
And I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball.
