The Carter Family
Wabash Cannonball
G C
Out from the wide Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore,
D D7 G
she climbs flowery mountains over hills and by the shore
C
Although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all,
D D7 G
she's a regular combination of the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
Oh, the eastern states are dandy, so the western people say,
D D7 G
Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way.
C
To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall,
D D7 G
no changes to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumor and the roar,
D D7 G
as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore
C
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
D D7 G
she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
Oh, here's Old Daddy Cleton, let his name forever stand,
D D7 G
and long be remembered 'bo's throughout the land
C
For he is a good old rounder, till the curtain round him fall,
D D7 G
he'll be carried back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue
D D7 G
across the eastern countries on mail car number two.
G C
I have rode those highball trains from coast to coast that's all,
D D7 G
but I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,
D D7 G
as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore
C
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall,
D D7 G
she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball
