From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green and flowery mountains to the south belt by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and quite well known by all
She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball

But now the Eastern States are dandy
So the people say
From New York to Saint Louis, and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall
But no change is to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, over the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call
He's riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

As she rolled on into the station on a cold December day
Stepped down on the platform, you could hear all the people say
"There's a gal from Tennessee, boy, she's long, Lord, she's tall"
Just came down from Georgia on the Wabash Cannonball

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, over the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call
He's riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Now here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand
He'll always be remembered in the courts of Alabama
Now his earthly race is over, let the curtains fall
They're carrying him back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball

From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green and flowery mountains to the south belt by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome and quite well known by all
She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball
