[Verse 1]
GFrom the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific Cshore,
To the green Dold flow'ring mountains, to the ice-bound LabradGor
GShe's long and tall and handsome and known quite well Cto all.
DShe's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball.G  
[Chorus]
GSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Croar
as she glidDes along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shorGe.
GHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sCquall,
While ridiDng through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.G  
[Verse 2]
GShe came in from Birmingham on a cold and frosty Cday.
As she rDolled into the station, you could hear the people sGay,
"GThere’s a gal out there form Tennessee, she’s long, boy, and Ctall.
DShe's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball."G  
[Chorus]
GSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Croar
as she glidDes along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shorGe.
GHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sCquall,
While ridiDng through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.G  
[Verse 3]
Now the GEastern states are dandy, so all the people Csay,
From DNew York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the Gway,
From the Glakes of Minnehaha where the laughing waters fCall,
No cDhange in standard gauging on the Wabash Cannonball.G  
[Chorus]
GSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Croar
as she glidDes along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shorGe.
GHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sCquall,
While ridiDng through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.G
