Karaoké Wabash Cannonball Roy Acuff

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the Queen of the 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

She came down from Birmingham one cold december day

As she rolled 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

Their Eastern states are dandies so the people always say

From New York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the way

From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall

No changes can be taken on that Wabash cannonball

Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand

And always be remembered 'round the courts of Alabam'

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

We'll carry him home to victory 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 engines

Hear the lonesome hobo's squall

You're travelin' through the jungles on the Wabash cannonball
