[Verse]
CFrom the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific Fshore,
To the Ggreen old flow'ring mountains, to the ice-bound LabraCdor
CShe's long and tall and handsome and known quite well Fto all.
GShe's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball.C  
[Chorus]
CSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Froar
as she Gglides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the Cshore.
CHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sFquall,
While ridiGng through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.C  
[Verse]
CShe came in from Birmingham on a cold and frosty Fday.
As she rGolled into the station, you could hear the people sCay,
"CThere’s a gal out there form Tennessee, she’s long, boy, and Ftall.
GShe's the modern combination called the Wabash Cannonball."C  
[Chorus]
CSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Froar
as she glidGes along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shorCe.
CHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sFquall,
While Griding through the jungle on the Wabash CannonbaCll.
[Verse]
Now the CEastern states are dandy, so the all the people Fsay,
From GNew York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the Cway,
From the Clakes of Minnehaha where the laughing waters fFall,
No cGhange in standard gauging on the Wabash Cannonball.C  
[Chorus]
CSo listen to the jingle, the jumble and the Froar
as she glidGes along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shorCe.
CHear the mighty rush of the engine, and the lonesome hoboes sFquall,
While ridiGng through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.C
