Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Marty Robbins

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the green and flowin' mountains 

To the south lands by the shore 

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

She's a combination called Wabash Cannonball 

Well' she came down from Birmingham one cold December day 

As she pulled into the station 

You could hear all 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 

Well' our eastern states are dandy, so the people always say 

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

From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall 

No changes can be taken on 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 hobo's call 

While ridin' through the jungles on the Wabash Cannonball
