From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the green and flowin' mountains

To the south lands by the shore

She's mighty tall and handsome known quite well by all

She's a combination called Wabash Cannonball



Well' 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 Tennessee, she's long and she's tall

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball



Well' 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



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 that lonesome hobo's call

While ridin' through the jungles on the Wabash Cannonball
