Wabash Cannonball
G C
Out from the wide Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore,
D D7 G
she climbs flowery mountains over hills and by the shore
C
Although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all,
D D7 G
she's a regular combination of the Wabash Cannonball.
G C
Oh, the eastern states are dandy, so the western people say,
D D7 G
Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way.
C
To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall,
D D7 G
no changes to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
G C Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumor and the roar, D D7 G as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore C She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall, D D7 G she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball. G C Oh, here's Old Daddy Cleton, let his name forever stand, D D7 G and long be remembered 'bo's throughout the land C For he is a good old rounder, till the curtain round him fall, D D7 G he'll be carried back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball. G C I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue D D7 G across the eastern countries on mail car number two. G C I have rode those highball trains from coast to coast that's all, D D7 G but I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball. G C Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar, D D7 G as she glides along the woodlands over hills and by the shore C She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall, D D7 G she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball
