Wabash Cannonball Lyrics

Connie Francis Wabash Cannonball

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the green New Hampshire mountains to the
southland's cajun lore
She's streamlined and she's welcome by the train and
one and all
She's a railroad institution called the Wabash
Cannonball

Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she rolls on down the mountains from the hills and
by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome
whistle's call
Hear the mingle with the jungle on the Wabash
Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she rolled into the station you could hear the
people say
There's a girl from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

Eastern states are dandy so the western people say
From Pittsburg to St Louis and Cincinnati by the way
From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling waters
fall
The flatlands of New Jersey on the Wabash Cannonball

We'll drink a toast to Casey Jones may his name forever
stand
He's built a reputation with the railroads of our land
His final run is over nad all the curtains fall
We'll carry him back to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle...
