Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the queen of flowing mountains to the south bells by the shore 

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

She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball 

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day 

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

There's a gal from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall 

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball 

Our eastern states're dandy, so all the people 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 

So here's to daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand 

And always be remembered in the ports throughout the land 

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

We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
