Wabash Cannonball Lyrics - Bonnie Owens

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore 

From the queen of flowing mountains to the southbells by the moor 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hoboes squall 

They're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball 

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day 

As she pulled into the station you could hear all them people say 

There's a gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall 

She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar 

As she glides along the woodland through the hills and by the shore 

Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hoboes squall 

They're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Well the eastern states are dandy so the people always say 

From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way 

From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling waters fall 

No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball 

Listen to the jingle...
