Wabash Cannonball

歌詞

From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wild Pacific shore From sunny California to the ice-bound Labrador She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all She's the 'boes accommodation to Wabash Cannonball Well, listen to the jingle, the rattle, and the roar As she travels through the woodlands, over the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engineer, the lonesome hoboes call As he flies on through the country on the Wabash Cannonball This train, she moves from Memphis, Mattoon, and Mexico She flies through East St. Louis and she never does it slow As she flies through Colorado, she gives an awful squawl You can tell her by the whistle, she's the Wabash Cannonball Well, the eastern states are dandy most people often say From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way From the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball Well, listen to the jingle, the rattle, and the roar As she travels through the woodlands, over the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engineer, the lonesome hoboes squall As he flies on through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball Well, here's to Boston Blackey, may his name forever stand And always be remembered by the 'boes throughout the land His earthly days are over and the curtains round him fall We gonna carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball Well, listen to the jingle, the rattle, and the roar As she travels through the woodlands, over the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engineer, the lonesome hoboes squall As he flies on through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
