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

      A                                                      D
She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores

       D                                                 G
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all

         A                                       D
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball
[Chorus]
 D                                       G
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar

       A                                                    D
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores

The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call

Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

      E                                               A
Now she came down from Birmingham one cold September day

        B                                                     E
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say

                 E                        A
She's from Tenessee she's long and she's tall

  B                                                E
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores

     E                                                     A
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call

  B                                              E
Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Heres to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand

    B                                                  E
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land

    E                                                A
His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall

         B                                           E
They'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball

The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobos call

Travelin through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
