1. From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shores,
             A                                  A7                  D
    to the queen of flowin' mountains, and the south belle by the shore.
                                                                   G
    She's mighty tall and handsome, and she's known quite well by all,
     A                                    A7           D
    she came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball.
           D                                           G
Well, now listen to the jingle, to the rumble and the roar,
           A                                 A7                D
as she glides along the woodlands, to the hills and by the shore.   G

Hear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hobo squall,
     A                          A7           D
no chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.

2. Now, here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand ,
         A                           A7                    D
    and always be remembered in the courts throughout the land.
                                                         G
    His earthly grace is over and the curtain round him falls,
            A                             A7           D
    we'll carry him home to glory on the Wabash Cannonball.
