v.1
^GFrom the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the Queen of the Glowing Mountains to the South Belle by the Shore
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all
Shes the combination on the Wabash Cannonball

v.2
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
There's a girl from Tennesee, she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

v.3
Our eastern states are dandy, so the people always say
From New York to St. Louis, and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

v.4
Now here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand
And always be remembered 'round the courts of Alabam'
His earthly race is over and the curtains 'round him fall
They'll carry him home to Victory on the Wabash Cannonball

v.5
Now listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, that lonesome hobo squall
You're travellin' through the jungles on the Wabash Cannonball
