D                                                 G 
From the great atlantic ocean to the wide pacific shore 
    A                                                      D 
She climbs the flowery mountains over the hills and by the shores 
                                                       G 
She mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all 
        A                                       D 
She's a regular combination on the wabash cannonball 
 
D                                       G 
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the rore 
       A                                                    D 
As she glides along the woodlands over the hills and by the shores 
                                                          G 
The mighty rush of the engine hears those lonesome hobbos call 
A                                               D 
Travelin through the jungle on the wabash cannonball  
 
 
D                                                     G 
Well she came down from Birmingham one cold september day 
       A                                                     D 
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say 
                                         G 
She's from Tenessee she's long and she's tall 
A 
She came down form Birmingham on the wabash cannonball 
 
Sing Chorus 
 
D                                              G 
Heres the daddy blacksman may his name forever stand 
    A                                                 D 
And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land 
                                                    G 
His earthly race is over and the curtains round and tall 
        A                                           D 
They'll carry him home to Dixie on the wabash cannonball
