Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the queen of flowin' mountains to the south bells by the shore 

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

She's the combination of the Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar 

As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hoboes call 

You're trav'ling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball 

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day 

As she rolled into the station you could hear the people say 

There's a girl from Tennessee she's long and she's tall 

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball 

[ guitar ] 

Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand 

And always be remembered in the courts of Alabam 

His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall 

We'll carry him home to Vict'ry on the Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle...
