Wabash Cannonball
Verse: From the wide Pacific ocean to the broad Atlantic shore She climbs the flowery mountains, over hills and by the shore although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all She's a regular combination, the Wabash Cannonball. Verse: Oh the Eastern states are dandy, so the Western people say From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way To the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall No chances to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball. Chorus: Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland, over hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the merry hobos squall to rumble though the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball. Verse: Oh, here's old daddy Cleaton, let his name forever be And long be remembered in the courts of Tennessee For he is a good old rounder 'til the curtain round him fall He'll be carried back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball. Verse: I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue Across the Eastern counties on Elkhorn Number Two I have rode these highball trains from coast to coast that's all But I have found no equal on the Wabash Cannonball. Chorus: Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland, over hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the merry hobos squall to rumble through the jungle, the Wabash Cannonball
