Osborne Brothers - Wabash Cannonball lyrics
Your rating:
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the queen of flowing mountains to the south belles by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all She's the combination of the Wabash Cannonball. She came down from Birmingham one cold December day As she stood in the roundhouse you could hear all the people say There's a gal from Tennesee she's long she's tall She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball. Oh, 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 hoboes call You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball. --- Instrumental --- Here's to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land When his earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall You'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball. Our eastern states are dandy some people always say From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way From the hills of Minnesota where the wrippling waters fall No changes will be taken on the Wabash Cannonball. Oh 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 hoboes call You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball...
