Wabash Cannonball Lyrics

Wabash Cannonball lyrics

CHORUS: 



Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar as she glides along the
woodland



ore the hills and by the shore



hear the rush of the mighty engine hear the lonesome hobos call 



he's riding through the jungle on the Wabash cannon ball 







VERSE 



now the western states are dandies so the southern people say from Chicago



and St. Louis



and Peoria by the way



to the lake of Minnesota where the rippling waters flow no chances to be



taken on 



the Wabash cannon ball 







VERSE 



she pulled in to the station one cold December day



as she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say 



now theirs a gal from Birmingham she's Elong and she's tall she came down



from Georgia



on the Wabash cannon ball 







VERSE 



now heres to daddy claxton may his name forever stand 



and always be remembered in the courts of all the land



his earthly race is over and as the curtain falls



we'll carry him back to Dixie on the Wabash cannon ball
