Wabash Cannonball Lyrics

  
  

CHORUS:
Listen to the jingle�. the rumble and the roar�.
As she glides along the woodland�ore the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush a'the mighty engine�� hear the lonesome hobos call
He's riding through the jungle on�� the Wabash Cannonball

VERSE [1]
Now the western states are dandies�� so the southern people say
From Chicago and St. Louis and Peoria by the way�
To the lakes of Minnesota� where the rippling waters flow�
No chances to be taken on�the Wabash Cannon ball

VERSE [2]
She pulled in to the station�� one cold December day �
As she rolled up to the platform�� you could hear all the people say
Now there�s a gal from Birmingham�
She�s long as she is tall�
She came down from Georgia �.on the Wabash Cannonball

VERSE [3]
Now here�s to daddy Claxton� may his name forever stand....
And always be remembered� in the courts of all the land
His earthly race is over and as the curtain falls
We'll carry him back to Dixie�� on the Wabash Cannonball

CHORUS:
Listen to the jingle�. the rumble and the roar�.
As she glides along the woodland�..ore the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush of the mighty engine�� hear the lonesome hobos call
He's riding through the jungle on�� the Wabash Cannonball
