Wabash Cannonball Lyrics

Wabash Cannonball lyrics

I stood on the Atlantic Ocean
The wide Pacific shore
To the queen of
the flowing mountains
To the southbell by the door
She's long and
tall and handsome
And loved by one and all
She's a modern
combination
Called the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus:
Oh listen to
the jingle
The rumble and the roar
As she glides along the
woodlands
Through the hills and by the shores
Hear the mighty rush of
engines
Hear the lonsome hobos' call
We're travelling through the
jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball
The eastern states are dandies
So the western people say
From New York to St. Louis
And Chicago by
the way
Through the hills of Minnesota
Where the rippling waters
fall
No chances can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus
Here's to Daddy Klaxton
May his name forever stand
Will he be
remembered
Through parts of all our land
His earthly race is over
And the curtain 'round him falls
We'll carry him on to victory
On
the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus
