From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the green and flowin' mountains To the south lands by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome known quite well by all She's a combination called Wabash Cannonball Well' she came down from Birmingham one cold December day As she pulled into the station You could hear all the people say There's a girl from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball Well' our eastern states are dandy, so the people always say From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine, Hear that lonesome hobo's call While ridin' through the jungles on the Wabash Cannonball
