Dolly Parton - Wabash Cannonball lyrics

(A.P.Carter - arr. Dolly Parton)

It's good to be back home again at the Seiver Tennessee

I'm awful glad to see you hope you're glad to see me

Now I'd like to say I love you I welcome to you all

Now I know I stole this steam from the Wabash Cannonball.

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

Up the hills and down the mountains and the valleys to the shore

She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all

She's a mighty famous thing called the Wabash Cannonball.

--- Instrumental with Pete Drake ---

Well, she came down from Birmingham one cold December day

As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say

That's that train from Tennessee boys she's long and she's tall

She's a famous choo-choo train called the Wabash Cannonball.

--- Yodels to fade ---
