Wabash Cannonball - The Carter Family
Out from the wide Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore
She climbs flowery mountains
Over hills and by the shore
Although she's tall and handsome
And she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination of the Wabash Cannonball

Oh, the eastern states are dandy
So the western people say
Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way

To the lakes of Minnesota
Where the rippling waters fall
No changes to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball

Oh, listen to the jingle
The rumor and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands
Over hills and by the shore

She climbs the flowery mountains
Hear the merrier hobo squall
She glides along the woodlands
The Wabash Cannonball

Oh, here's old Daddy Cleton
Let his name forever be
And long be remembered in the courts of Tennessee

For he is a good old rounder
Till the curtain round him fall
He'll be carried back to victory
On the Wabash Cannonball
I have rode the I.C. Limited

Also the Royal Blue
Across the eastern countries
On mail car number two
I have rode those highball trains
From coast to coast, that's all
But I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball
Oh, listen to the jingle the rumor and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands
Over hills and by the shore

She climbs the flowery mountains
Hear the merrier hobo squall
She glides along the woodlands
The Wabash Cannonball
