From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus:
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call
Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
She's from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
chorus
Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall
We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
chorus
