Carl Smith — Wabash Cannon Ball

[Verse 1] From the great Atlantic ocean To the wide Pacific shores From the queen of the flowing 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 [Chorus] Listen to the jingle The rumble and the roar As she guides along the woodland Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine Hear that lonesome hobos squawl You're traveling through the jungle On the Wabash Cannonball [Verse 2] Now she came down from Birmingham One cold December day As she rolled into the station You could hear all the people say There's a girl from Tennessee She's long, she's tall She came down from Birmingham On the Wabash Cannonball [Chorus] Listen to the jingle The rumble and the roar As she guides along the woodland Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine Hear that lonesome hobos squawl You're traveling through the jungle On the Wabash Cannonball [Verse 3] 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 victory On the Wabash Cannonball [Chorus] Listen to the jingle The rumble and the roar As she guides along the woodland Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine Hear that lonesome hobos squawl You're traveling through the jungle On the Wabash Cannonball
