Lyrics

[00:13.72] The From great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
[00:18.46] The From queen of flowing mountains to the Southbell by the shore
[00:23.25] She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all
[00:28.30] She's a combination on the Wabash Cannonball
[00:32.94]
[00:34.37] She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
[00:38.93] As she rolled into the station you could hear all the people say
[00:43.74] a "There's girl from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall
[00:48.73] She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball"
[00:52.76]
[01:14.81] Our eastern states are dandy so the people always say
[01:19.67] From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way
[01:24.52] From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall
[01:29.23] No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
[01:33.74]
[01:35.63] Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
[01:39.65]
[01:40.16] And always be remembered round the courts of Alabam
[01:44.34]
[01:44.91] His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall
[01:49.72] We'll carry home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
[01:54.42]
[02:11.69] Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
[02:16.02] As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore
[02:20.81] Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hoboes call
[02:25.58] You're travelin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
