From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
On the queen of flowing mountains to the southbelt by the bore
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all
She's a modern combination on the Wabash Cannonball
Now 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 those lonesome hobo squall
While traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station, you could hear all the people say
"Ah, the girl from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall
She came down to Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball"
Our eastern states are dandies, so the western people 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
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 around him fall
We'll carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
