Lyrics

[00:09.570] From the great Atlantic ocean
[00:11.550] To the wide Pacific shore
[00:13.440]
[00:14.250] To the queen of flowing mountains
[00:16.020] For the hills and by the shore
[00:18.400]
[00:18.960] She's mighty tall and handsome
[00:21.120] And she's known quite well by all
[00:23.160]
[00:24.080] She came down from Birmingham
[00:26.040] On the Wabash Cannonball
[00:29.410] Well now listen to the jingle
[00:32.510] To the rumble and the roar
[00:34.600] As she glides along the woodland
[00:36.970] Through the hills and by the shore
[00:39.140]
[00:39.730] Hear the mighty rush of the engine
[00:41.870] And the lonesome hoboes call
[00:43.870]
[00:44.460] No changes can be taken
[00:46.370] On the Wabash Cannonball
[00:49.270]
[01:10.430] Now here's to daddy Claxton
[01:12.040] May his name forever stand
[01:14.480]
[01:15.230] He'll always be remembered
[01:17.400] In the ports throughout the land
[01:19.410]
[01:20.190] His earthly race is over
[01:22.200] And the curtain round him falls
[01:25.030] We'll carry him home to Glory
[01:27.090] On the Wabash Cannonball
[01:30.560] Well now listen to the jingle
[01:33.670] To the rumble and the roar
[01:35.760] As she glides along the woodland
[01:38.240] Through the hills and by the shore
[01:40.410]
[01:41.070] Hear the mighty rush of the engine
[01:43.270] And the lonesome hoboes call
[01:45.690] No changes can be taken
[01:47.800] On the Wabash Cannonball
[01:50.190]
[02:13.640] Listen to the jingle
[02:15.430] To the rumble and the roar
[02:17.820] As she glides along the woodland
[02:20.190] Through the hills and by the shore
[02:22.390]
[02:22.940] Hear the mighty rush of the engine
[02:25.270] And the lonesome hoboes call
[02:27.690] No changes can be taken
[02:29.960] On the Wabash Cannonball
[02:35.850]
