Wabash Cannonball (Other Song)

GFrom the great Atlantic ocean,

to the wide Pacific Cshore,

From the D7green and flowing mountains,

through the hills and by the Gshore.

GShe's mighty tall and handsome,

and known quite well by Call,

She D7is the combination,

on the Wabash Cannon-Gball.

GShe came down from Birmingham

one cold December Cday,

As she D7rolled into the station

you could hear the people Gsay,

GThis train's a wondrous vision,

she is long and she is Ctall,

She D7came from Birmingham

on the Wabash Cannon-Gball.

GOur eastern states are dandy

so the people always Csay,

From D7New York to St Louis

and Chicago by the Gway.

GFrom the hills of Minnesota

where the rippling waters Cfall,

No D7changes can be taken

on that Wabash Cannon-Gball.

GHere's to Daddy Claxton

may his name forever Cstand,

And D7always be remembered

round the ports of Ala-Gbam'.

GHis earthly race is over

and the curtains 'round him Cfall,

We'll D7carry him home to Vict'ry

on the Wabash Cannon-Gball.

GNow listen to the jingle,

the rumble and the Croar,

As she D7glides along the woodlands

through the hills and by the Gshore.

GHear the mighty rushing engine,

hear the lonesome hobos Ccall,

You're D7traveling through the jungles

on the Wabash Cannon-Gball.
