Smokey River Boys Lyrics
Wabash Cannonball Lyrics
CHORUS:
Listen to the jingle
. the rumble and the roar
.
As she glides along the woodland
ore the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush a'the mighty engine
hear the lonesome hobos call
He's riding through the jungle on
the Wabash Cannonball
VERSE [1]
Now the western states are dandies
so the southern people say
From Chicago and St. Louis and Peoria by the way
To the lakes of Minnesota
where the rippling waters flow
No chances to be taken on
the Wabash Cannon ball
VERSE [2]
She pulled in to the station
one cold December day
As she rolled up to the platform
you could hear all the people say
Now theres a gal from Birmingham
Shes long as she is tall
She came down from Georgia
.on the Wabash Cannonball
VERSE [3]
Now heres to daddy Claxton
may his name forever stand....
And always be remembered
in the courts of all the land
His earthly race is over and as the curtain falls
We'll carry him back to Dixie
on the Wabash Cannonball
CHORUS:
Listen to the jingle
. the rumble and the roar
.
As she glides along the woodland
..ore the hills and by the shore
Hear the rush of the mighty engine
hear the lonesome hobos call
He's riding through the jungle on
the Wabash Cannonball
