From the great atlantic ocean to the wide pacific shore She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores She mighty tall and handsome she’s known quite well by all She’s a regular combination on the wabash cannonball Listen to the jingle the rumble and the rore As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobbos call Travelin through the jungle on the wabash cannonball Well she came down from Birmingham one cold september day As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say She’s from Tenessee she’s long and she’s tall She came down form Birmingham on the wabash cannonball Sing Chorus Heres the daddy blacksman may his name forever stand And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land His earthly race is over and the curtains round and tall They’ll carry him home to Dixie on the wabash cannonball Sing Chorus
