From the great Atlantic ocean
To the wide Pacific shore,
From sunny California
To the south lands by the shore,
She's mighty tall and handsome,
She's known quite well by all,
She's the regular combination
On the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus:
Listen to the jingle,
The rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland
Through the hills and by the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine,
Hear the lonesome hoboes squawl,
While traveling through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball.
|
Our eastern states are dandy,
So the people always say,
From New York to St. Louis
With Chicago by the way,
From the hills of Minnesota
Where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball.
Chorus
Now here's to Daddy Claxton,
May his name forever stand
And always be remembered
With the bo's throughout the land.
His earthly race is over,
Now the curtains round him fall.
We'll carry him home to victory
On the Wabash Cannonball.
Chorus
