Eddy Arnold - Wabash Cannonball lyrics

rate me

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the queen of flowin' mountains to the south bells by the shore

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

She's the combination of 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 hoboes call

You're trav'ling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day

As she rolled into the station you could hear 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

[ guitar ]

Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand

And always be remembered in the courts of Alabam

His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall

We'll carry him home to Vict'ry on the Wabash Cannonball

Listen to the jingle...
