Wasbash Cannonball - Roy Acuff

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the queen of flowing mountain to the south bell by the shore

She’s mighty tall and handsome and know quite well by all

She’s the combination on the Wabash Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day

As she rolled in 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

Our estern states are dandies 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

Here’s to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand

And always be remembered 'round the courts of Alabama

His earthly race is over and the curtains 'round him fall

We’ll carry home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
