Story
A country song which extolls the virtues of one of the original, great American transcontinental express trains... a session of folksongs would be incomplete without a song about trains! At least, in this song no one dies.

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore From the green New Hampshire mountains to the southland's cajun lore She's mighty tall and handsome And loved by one and all She's the mighty combination Called the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus: Oh listen to the jingle The rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodlands Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of her engine Hear that lonesome hobo's call We're travelling through the jungles On the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus
Here's to Daddy Klaxton May his name forever stand And always be remembered Through the courts of Alabam' His earthly race is over The curtains 'round him fall We'll carry him on to victory On the Wabash Cannonball
Chorus
She pulled in to the station one cold December day As she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say There's a gal from Birmingham; she's long and she's tall She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
