From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide [Bbm] Pacific [G] shore,
[A] She climbed the flowery mountains, over the hills and [D] by the shore.
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite [G] well by all,
[A] She's a regular combination on the wall, [D] that's Cannonball.
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and [G] the roar,
As [A] she glides along the woodland, over the hills and by [D] the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome [G] hobbles call,
[A] Traveling through the jungle on the wall by [D] Cannonball.

[E] Well she came down from Birmingham one cold [A] December day,
[B] As she pulled into the station, you could hear all the [E] people say,
She's from Tennessee, she's long and she's [A] tall,
[B] She came down from Birmingham on the wall by [E] Cannonball.
Listen to the jingle, [A] the rumble and the roar,
[B] As she glides along the woodland, over the hills and by [E] the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome [A] hobbles call,
[B] Traveling through the jungle on the wall by [A] [E] Cannonball.
[A] [B]
[E] Here to daddy Flaxton may his name forever [A] stand,
[B] And always be remembered in the courts [E] throughout the land,
His earthly race is over and the curtain's [A] round and fall,
He'll [B] carry him home to Dixie on the wall [E] by Cannonball.
Listen to the jingle, the rumble [A] and the roar,
[B] As she glides along the woodland, over the hills and [E] by the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome [A] hobbles call,
[B] Traveling through the jungle on the wall [A] by [E]
Cannonball.
