Wabash Cannonball

 

	G
I	stood on the Atlantic ocean,

	C
On the wide Pacific	shore,

	D7
Heard the	Queen of flowing mountains

	G
To the South Belle by the	door,

She's long, tall and handsome,

	C
She's loved by one and	all.

	D7
She's a	modern combination,

	G
Called the Wabash Cannonb	all

Chorus:

G

Listen to the jingle,

	C
The rumble and the	roar.

D7

Riding thru the woodlands,

	G
To the hill and by the	shore.

Hear the mighty rush of engines,

	C
Hear the lonesome hobo	squall,

D7

Riding thru the jungles,

	G
On the Wabash Cannonba	ll.

Now the eastern states are dandies,
So the western people say
From New York  to St. Louis
And Chicago by the way,
Thru the hills of  Minnesota
Where the rippling waters fall
No chances can be taken
On the Wabash Cannonball.

Here's to Daddy Claxton,
May his name forever stand
Will he be remembered
Through parts of all our land,
When his earthly race is over
And the curtain round him falls
We'll carry him on to victory
On the Wabash Cannonball.
