Wabash Cannonball

Boxcar Willie - The Wabash Cannonball(Live)

From the great atlantic ocean to the wide pacific shore

To the green of flowing mountains and the south belt by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hobo squall

Were riding thru to dixie on the wabash cannonball

We rolled into birmingham one cold december day

As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say

There's a gal out there from texas she's long and she's tall

She's the combination of the wabash cannonball

Here's to daddy claxton may his name forever stand

And always be remembered throughout this great land

His earthly race is over and well bear him to the pall

And we'll carry him up to heaven on the wabash cannonball

Well we listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland by the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo squall

We're travelling through to dixie on the wabash cannonball

We're riding thru the jungle on the wabash cannonball
