Wabash Cannonball

From the Atlantin 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 roar
 As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
 Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonsome 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 water fall
 No changers need be taken on that Wabash cannonball
 Here's to Daddy Claxton. may his name forever stand
 In the hills of Tennessee many places throughut the land
 When his earthly race are over and them curtains 'round him fall
 Bring 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 Caroline they're wide and fat and tall
 They came down to pick us a few, they rode the Wabash cannonball
