Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Roy Acuff

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the queen of flowing mountain to the south bell by the shore 

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

She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball 

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day 

As she rolled in 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 

Our estern states are dandies 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 

Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand 

And always be remembered 'round the courts of Alabama 

His earthly race is over and the curtains 'round him fall 

We'll carry home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
