Wabash Cannonball

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
 From the green New Hampshire mountains to the southland's cajun lore
 She's mighty tall and handsome
 And loved by one and all
 She's the combination
 Called the Wabash Cannonball
 Oh listen to the jingle
 The rumble and the roar
 As she glides along the woodlands
 Through the hills and by the shore
 Hear the mighty rush of her engine
 Hear that lonesome hobo's call
 We're travelling through the jungles
 On the Wabash Cannonball
 Your eastern states are dandies
 So the people always say
 From New York to St. Louis
 And Chicago by the way
 Through the hills of Minnesota
 Where the rippling waters fall
 No changes can be taken
 On the Wabash Cannonball
 Here's to Daddy Klaxton
 May his name forever stand
 And alwyas be remembered
 Through the courts of Alabam'
 His earthly race is over
 The curtains 'round him fall
 We'll carry him on to Glory
 On the Wabash Cannonball
 She pulled in to the station one cold December day
 As she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say
 There's a gal from Tennessee; she's long and she's tall
 She came down from Birmingham
 on the Wabash Cannonball
