Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush of the mighty engine, hear the lonesome hoboes call
He's ridin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
Now the western states are dandy, so the southern people say
From Chicago and St. Louis and Peoria by the way
To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters call
No chances to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
ย
She pulled into the station one cold December day
As she rolled up to the platform, you could hear all the people say
"Now there's a gal from Framingham, she's elegant and she's tall
She came down from Georgia on the Wabash Cannonball"
Now here's to daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand
And always be remembered in the courts of all the land
His earthly race is over, and as the curtain falls
We'll carry him back to Dixie in the Wabash Cannonball
ย
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush of the mighty engine, hear the lonesome hoboes call
He's ridin' through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
