Wabash Cannonball

Lyrics

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore To the queen of the flowing mountain, south of Baltimore She′s mighty tall and handsome, yet known quite well by all She made a modern combination on that Wabash Cannonball She come down to Birmingham on a cold December day When she rolled into the shed, you could hear all the people say "There's a gal from Tennessee, she′s long and she's tall She's here from Indiana on that Wabash Cannonball" Can′t you hear the jingle roar, the rumble and the roar Gliding through the woodland, through the hills and by the shore? The mighty rushin′ of the engines, the lonesome hoboes' squall Travelin′ through the jungle on that Wabash Cannonball Yes, old Danny Claxton may his name forever stand He's long to be remembered ′cause he's known all through the land But his earthly race is over, the curtain around him falls Takin′ him through to Dixie on that Wabash Cannonball Can't you hear the jingle roar, the rumble and the roar Gliding through the woodland, through the hills and by the shore? The mighty rushin' of the engines, the lonesome hoboes′ squall Travelin′ through the jungles, boys, on the Wabash Cannonball
