           D                                        G
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
      A                                                      D
She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores
       D                                                 G
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
         A                                       D
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball

Chorus:
 D                                       G
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
         A                                                    D
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores
     D                                                    G
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call
  A                                              D
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
