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
