The Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through hills and by the shore
She's mighty, tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all
You can find no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
[Verse 1]
To the great Atlantic Ocean to the broad Pacific shore
To sunny California to icy Labrador
As she climbs the flowery mountains hear those lonesome hoboes call
While travelin' through the jungle of the Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through hills and by the shore
She's mighty, tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all
You can find no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
[Verse 2]
This train runs to Memphis, Fort Worth and Mexico
She rolls through wee St. Louis and she never does it slow
And she flies through Colorado you can hear an awful swamp
You can tell her by her whistle the Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through hills and by the shore
She's mighty, tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all
You can find no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
[Banjo Solo]
Amazing, all done with three fingers and a plastic head
[Chorus]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through hills and by the shore
She's mighty, tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all
You can find no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
[Verse 3]
Well the eastern state's a dandy so the western people say
New York to Chicago, St. Louis by the way
She climbs to Minnesota where the ripplin' waters haul
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland through hills and by the shore
She's mighty, tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all
You can find no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
