Wabash Cannonball Lyrics
Wabash Cannonball - Roy Acuff
The From great Atlantic Ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
The From queen of flowing mountains
To the Southbell by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
She known quite well by all
She's a 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 the lonesome hoboes call
You're 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 girl from Tennessee
She's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham
On the Wabash Cannonball"
Our eastern states are dandy
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 the lonesome hoboes call
You're traveling through the jungle
On the Wabash Cannonball
Now 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 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 the lonesome hoboes call
You're traveling through the jungle
On the Wabash Cannonball
