WABASH CANNONBALL

G

FROM THE GREAT ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE WIDE PACIFIC SHORE
THE QUEEN OF FLOWING MOUNTAINS TO THE SOUTH BELL BY THE SHORE
SHE'S MIGHTY TALL AND HANDSOME AND KNOWN QUITE WELL BY ALL
SHE'S A MODERN COMBINATION OF THE WABASH CANNONBALL

CH
OH LISTEN TO THE JINGLE THE RUMBLE AND THE ROAR
AS SHE GLIDES ALONG THE WOODLANDS THRU HILLS AND BY THE SHORE
HEAR THE MIGHTY RUSH OF THE ENGINE HEAR THE LONESOME HOBO'S CALL
YOUR TRAVELING THRU THE JUNGLE ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL

SHE CAME DOWN FROM BIRMINGHAM ONE COLD DECEMBER DAY
AS SHE PULLED INTO THE STATION YOU COULD HEAR ALL THE PEOPLE SAY
THERE'S A GIRL FROM TENNESSEE SHE'S LONG AND SHE'S TALL
SHE'S A COMBINATION OF THE WABASH CANNONBALL

CH

HERE'S TO DADDY CLAXTON MAY HIS NAME FOREVER STAND
AND ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED IN THE COURSE THROUGHOUT THE LAND
HIS EARTHLY RACE IS OVER AND THE CURTAIN ROUND HIM FALLS
WE'LL CARRY HIM HOME TO VICTORY ON THE WABASH CANNONBALL
