Wabash Cannonball |
I stood on the Atlantic Ocean |
The wide Pacific shore |
To the queen of the flowing mountains |
To the southbell by the door |
She’s long and tall and handsome |
And loved by one and all |
She’s a modern combination |
Called the Wabash Cannonball |
Oh listen to the jingle |
The rumble and the roar |
As she glides along the woodlands |
Through the hills and by the shores |
Hear the mighty rush of engines |
Hear the lonesome hobos' call |
We’re travelling through the jungles |
On the Wabash Cannonball |
The eastern states are dandies |
So the western people say |
From New York to St. Louis |
And Chicago by the way |
Through the hills of Minnesota |
Where the rippling waters fall |
No chances can be taken |
On the Wabash Cannonball |
Oh listen to the jingle |
The rumble and the roar |
As she glides along the woodlands |
Through the hills and by the shores |
Hear the mighty rush of engines |
Hear the lonesome hobos' call |
We’re travelling through the jungles |
On the Wabash Cannonball |
Here’s to Daddy Klaxton |
May his name forever stand |
Will he be remembered |
Through parts of all our land |
His earthly race is over |
And the curtain 'round him falls |
We’ll carry him on to victory |
On the Wabash Cannonball |
Oh listen to the jingle |
The rumble and the roar |
As she glides along the woodlands |
Through the hills and by the shores |
Hear the mighty rush of engines |
Hear the lonesome hobos' call |
We’re travelling through the jungles |
On the Wabash Cannonball |
