Wabash
Cannonball
1. From the great
Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shores,
A A7 D
to the queen of flowin` mountains, and the
south belle by the shore.
G
She's mighty tall and handsome, and she's
known quite well by all,
A
A7 D
she came down from Birmingham on the Wabash
Cannonball.
Well, now listen to
the jingle, to the rumble and the roar,
A
A7 D
as she glides along
the woodlands, to the hills and by the shore.
G
Hear the mighty rush
of the engine, and the lonesome hobo squall,
A
A7 D
no chances can be
taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
2. Now, here's to
Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand ,
A
A7 D
and always be remembered in the courts throughout
the land.
G
His earthly grace is over and the curtain
round him falls,
A
A7 D
we'll carry him home to glory on the Wabash
Cannonball.
