Wabash Cannon Ball - Roy Acuff/George Olsen & His Music

From the great Atlantic ocean

To the wide Pacific shore

From the queen of flowing mountain

To the south bell by the lore

She's mighty tall and handsome

She's known quite well by all

She's the combination

On the Wabash Cannonball

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 those lonesome hobos' call

While traveling through the jungle

On the Wabash Cannonball

She came down to Birmingham

One cold December day

As she pulled it to the station

You could hear all the people say

There's a gal from Tennessee

She's long and she's tall

She came down to Birmingham

On the Wabash Cannonball

Our estern 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

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 those lonesome hobos' call

While traveling through the jungle

On the Wabash Cannonball

Now here's to daddy Claxton may

His name forever stand

And always be remembered

In the courts through Alabama

His earthly race is over

And the curtains around him fall

We'll carry him home to victory

On the Wabash Cannonball

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 those lonesome hobos' call

While traveling through the jungle

On the Wabash Cannonball
