                                                  G    
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
    A                                                  D    
She climbs flowery mountains o'er the hills and by the shore
                                                      G     
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
        A                                 D         
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
                                        G   
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
       A                                                   D    
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
                                                             G   
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hobos call
A                                          D         
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

[Verse]
                                                     A  
Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
       B7                                                    E  
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
                                          A   
She's from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
B7                                          E         
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
                                        A   
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
       B                                                   E    
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
                                                             A   
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hobos call
B7                                  Bm7    B7 E          A B7

E                                              A    
■ Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
    B7        B                                       E   
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
                                                     A   
His earthly race is over and the curtains 'round him fall
B7                                   B      E         
We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball


[Chorus]
                                        A   
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
       B7                                                  E    
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
                                                             A   
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hobos call
B7                                         E          B E
