Wabash Cannonball

The Carter Family

Out from the wiGde Pacific to the broad Atlantic shore, C
she climbDs flowery mountains o’er hills and by the shoD7re. G
Although she's tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all, C
she's a regulDar combination of the Wabash Cannonball. D7>G

Oh, the easterGn states are dandy, so the western people say, C
ChicagoD, Rock Island, St. Louis by the wayD7. G
To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall, C
no changeDs to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball. <D7b>G

Oh, lisGten to the jingle, the rumor and thCe roar,
as she glides Dalong the woodlands o’er hills and by the shore.D7 G
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall, C
she glideDs along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball. GD7

Oh, hereG's Old Daddy Cleton, let his name forever be, C
and longD be remembered in the courts of Tennessee. D7G
For he is a good old rounder, till the curtain round him faCll,
he'll be carriDed back to victory on the Wabash Cannonball. <D7b>G

I have rode Gthe I.C. Limited, also the Royal BlCue
acrosDs the eastern countries on mail car number two.D7 G
I have rode Gthose highball trains from coast to coast that'sC all,
but ID have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball. D7G

Oh, lisGten to the jingle, the rumor and thCe roar,
as she glides Dalong the woodlands o’er hills and by the shore.D7 G
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the merry hobos squall, C
she glideDs along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball G<D7/b>
