D G From the great atlantic ocean to the wide pacific shore A D She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores G She mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all A D She's a regular combination on the wabash cannonballD G Well she came down from Birmingham one cold september day A D As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say G She's from Tenessee she's long and she's tall A She came down form Birmingham on the wabash cannonball Sing Chorus D G Heres the daddy blacksman may his name forever stand A D And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land G His earthly race is over and the curtains round and tall A D They'll carry him home to Dixie on the wabash cannonball Sing ChorusD G Listen to the jingle the rumble and the rore A D As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores G The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobbos call A D Travelin through the jungle on the wabash cannonball
