I grew up in Decatur, IL; the Cannonball
(which was an actual train that went from Detroit to
St. Louis and on to Kansas City) went by my house!
Also, I have the original 10" LP by Roy Acuff
with this song. Here is how it goes.

WABASH CANNONBALL

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore

From the green New Hampshire mountains to the southland's cajun lore

She's mighty tall and handsome

And loved by one and all

She's the combination

Called the Wabash Cannonball

Chorus:

Oh listen to the jingle

The rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodlands

Through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of her engine

Hear that lonesome hobo's call

We're travelling through the jungles

On the Wabash Cannonball

Your eastern states are dandies

So the people always say

From New York to St. Louis

And Chicago by the way

Through the hills of Minnesota

Where the rippling waters fall

No changes can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball

Chorus

Here's to Daddy Klaxton

May his name forever stand

And alwyas be remembered

Through the courts of Alabam'

His earthly race is over

The curtains 'round him fall

We'll carry him on to Glory

On the Wabash Cannonball

Chorus

She pulled in to the station one cold December day

As she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say

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

She came down from Birmingham

on the Wabash Cannonball

Chorus
