Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the green old flowing mountains to the south down along the shore 

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

The regular combination on that Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar 

As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call 

As you ramble across the country on that Wabash Cannonball 

Well, the eastern states are dandy, most people always say 

From New York to St. Louis and old Chicago by the way 

To the hills of Minnesota where them rippling waters fall 

No changes need be taken on that Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar 

As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call 

As you ramble across the country on that Wabash Cannonball 

Here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand 

In the hills of Tennessee many places throughout the land 

When his earthly race are over and them curtains 'round him fall 

[Incomprehensible] him back to Dixie on that Wabash Cannonball 

We came down to Nashville on a warm November day 

As we rolled into that station I heard somebody say 

There's a boy from Carolina, they're wide and fat and tall 

They came down to pick us a few, they rode the Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to that jingle, the rumble and the roar 

As she glides along the woodland o'er hills and by the shore 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call 

As you ramble across the country on that Wabash Cannonball
