Wabash Cannonball Songtext
von Kay Starr

From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green ol′ flowing mountains to the south-belt by the moor
She's mighty tall and handsome, known quite well by all
She′s a combination she's a Wabash Cannon Ball

Listen to the rumble, the rustle, and the roar
As she glides along the south-belt, south-belt by the moor
She's mighty tall and handsome, known quite well by all
Why she′s a combination, she′s the Wabash Cannon Ball

She pulled in to Birmingham, one cold December day
As she rolled into the station, you could hear the people say
She comes from Indiana, she's long and she′s tall
She's a combination, she′s the Wabash Cannonball


Listen to the rumble, the rustle, and the roar
As she glides along the south-belt, south-belt by the moor
She's mighty tall and handsome, known quite well by all
Why she′s a combination, she's the Wabash Cannon Ball

Here's to that ol′ engineer, his name will ever stand
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land
When his earthly race is over, and the curtains ′round him fall
They'll take him home to Dixie, on the Wabash Cannon Ball

Listen to the rumble, the rustle, and the roar
As she glides along the south-belt, south-belt by the moor
She′s mighty tall and handsome, known quite well by all
Why she's a combination, she′s the Wabash Cannon Ball
