[C] [D]
[G] [G]
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide [C] Pacific shore,
[D] Queen of glowing mountains to the South [G] Bellevue shore.
She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite [C] well by all.
[D] She's the combination on the [G] Wabash counterball.
Now she came down from Birmingham one cold December [C] day.
[D] As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people [G] sing.
There's a gal from Tennessee, she's long [C] and she's tall.
[D] She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash [G] counterball.
[C]
[D] [G]
Her eastern states are dandy so the people always sing.
[D] From New York to St.
Louis and Chicago by [G] the way.
From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters [C] fall.
[D] No changes can be taken on the Wabash [G] counterball.
Now here's to Daddy Claxton may his name [C] forever stand.
[D] Always be remembered in the courts [G] throughout the land.
His earthly race is over and the curtain [C] around him falls.
[D] Carry him home to victory on the [G] Wabash counterball.
Now listen to the jingle on the land [C] you're on.
As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by [G] the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hell on some old [C] boy's horse.
[D] Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash [G] counterball.
