G                                                 C
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore

         D                                                  G
From the banks of the sweet  Maryland, to the ice-bound  Labrador

                                                        C
It's a scene of magic splendor, that is known by one and all

        D                                           G
She's a modern combination  called  the  Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
G                                          C
Listen to the jingle, to the rumble and the roar

       D                                                   G
As she dances through the woodlands, that steals along the shore

                                                       C
She's a mighty rushin' engine, you can hear them hobos call

As they ride the rods and the brake beams on the Wabash Cannonball
[Verse 2]

Your cities may be fairer, as you can plainly see

           D                                        G
From Saint Paul to Minneapolis, and the famous Albany

                                                    C
Then back to ole Niagara where the laughing waters fall

        D                                           G
You can hear them hobos singin' on the Wabash Cannonball

                                                       C
She's a mighty rushin' engine, you can hear them hobos call

        D                                                     G

Here's health to daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand

    C                                           G
And always be respected by folks throughout the land

                                                            D
And when his mortal race is run and the curtains around him fall

      C                                           G
We'll carry him home to Glory on the Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
G                                          C

                                                       C
She's a mighty rushin' engine, you can hear them hobos call

        D                                                     G
As they ride the rods and the brake beams on the Wabash Cannonball
