Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
as she glides along the woodland
ore the hills and by the shore
hear the rush of the mighty engine
hear the lonesome hobos call
he's riding through the jungle
on the Wabash cannon ball

now the western states are dandies
so the southern people say
from Chicago and St. Louis
and Peoria by the way
to the lake of Minnesota
where the rippling waters flow
no chances to be taken on
the Wabash cannon ball

she pulled in to the station
one cold December day
as she rolled up to the platform
you could hear all the people say
now theirs a gal from Birmingham
she's Elong and she's tall
she came down from Georgia
on the Wabash cannon ball

now heres to daddy claxton
may his name forever stand
and always be remembered
in the courts of all the land
his earthly race is over
and as the curtain falls
we'll carry him back to Dixie
on the Wabash cannon ball
Wabash Cannonball
