From the Egreat Atlantic ocean to the Awide Pacific shore
She B7climbs a flowery mountains o'er the hills and by the Eshore
She's mighty tall and handsome she's Aknown quite well by all
She's a B7regular combination on the Wabash CannonEball
EListen to the jingle, the rumble and the Aroar
As she B7glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the Eshore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes Acall
B7Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash CannonEball
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
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
