6 6 6 6 6 7 -8 8 9

I stood on the At-lan-tic O-cean,

9 9 8 8 -8 7 5

On the wide Pa-cif-ic shore,

-6 -6 6 6 -7 -8 8 -8

Saw the queen of flow-ing riv-ers,

-8 -8 -7 7 -7 -6 6

Might-y moun-tains by the score.

6 6 6 6 7 -8 8 9

She's long and she's tall and hand-some,

9 9 8 8 -8 7 5

Yes, she's loved by one and all.

-6 -6 6 6 -7 -8 8 -8

She's a mod-ern com-bin-a-tion

-8 -8 -7 6 -6 -7 7

Called the Wa-bash Can-non-ball.

chorus

Listen to the jingle,

the rumble and the roar.

Riding through the woodlands,

to the hills and by the shore,

Hear the mighty rush of the engine,

Hear the lonesome hobo squall,

Riding through the jungles

On the Wabash Cannonball.

verse 2

Now, the eastern sates are dandies,

So the western people say.

From New York to St. Louis

And Chicago by the way.

Through the hills of Minnesota

Where the rippling waters fall,

No chances can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball.

chorus

Well she came down from Birmingham,one cols September day.

As she rolled into the station, you could hear all the

people say.

She's from Tennessee,she's long and she's tall.

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball.

Here's to Daddy Claxton,

May his name forever stand,

May he ever be remembered

Through parts of all our land,

When his earthly race is over

And the curtains 'round him fall,

We'll carry him to Glory

On the Wabash Cannonball.
