Hank Locklin - Wabash Cannonball lyrics

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the queen of glowin' mountains to the south hills by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome and known quite well by all She's a 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 Our eastern states are dandy 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 Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodlands through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear that lonesome hobo's call You're travelin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
