From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the queen of flowing mountains to the South Belle by the shore She’s mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all She’s the combination on the Wabash Cannonball 
Chorus 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 the lonesome hoboes squall You’re traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball 
She come down from Birmingham one cold December day As she rolled into the station you could hear the people say There’s a girl from Birmingham she’s long and she is tall She come down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball 
Now the eastern 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 chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball 
Here’s to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall We’ll carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball
