_ _ _ _ From the great Atlantic Ocean [D] to the wide Pacific shore,
[E] From the queen of glowing mountains to the South [A] Belt by the shore,
She's mighty tall and handsome [D] and known quite well by all,
[E] She's the combination on the Wabash [A] Cannonball.
_ _ She came down from Birmingham [D] one cold December day,
[E] As she rolled into the [Bm] station you could hear all the people [A] say,
There's a girl from Tennessee, [D] she's long and she's tall,
[E] She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash [A] Cannonball. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ Our eastern [E] states are dandy so the people [D] always say,
[E] From New York to St.
Louis and Chicago [A] by the way,
From the hills of Minnesota [D] where the rippling waters fall,
[E] No changes can be taken on that Wabash [A] Cannonball.
_ _ Here's to Daddy Claxton, [D] may his name forever stand,
[E] And always be remembered round the courts [A] of Alabama,
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall,
[E] We'll carry him home to victory on [E] the Wabash [A] Cannonball. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Listen to the jingle, [D] the rumble and the roar,
As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the [A] shore,
Hear the mighty rush of the engineer, that [D] long-time hobo squaw,
Hear it [E] traveling through the [E] jungles on the Wabash Cannonball.
