I stood on the Atlantic OceanThe wide Pacific shoreTo the queen of the flowing mountainsTo the southbell by the doorShe's long and tall and handsomeAnd loved by one and allShe's a modern combinationCalled the Wabash CannonballChorus:Oh listen to the jingleThe rumble and the roarAs she glides along the woodlandsThrough the hills and by the shoresHear the mighty rush of enginesHear the lonsome hobos' callWe're travelling through the junglesOn the Wabash CannonballThe eastern states are dandiesSo the western people sayFrom New York to St. LouisAnd Chicago by the wayThrough the hills of MinnesotaWhere the rippling waters fallNo chances can be takenOn the Wabash CannonballChorusHere's to Daddy KlaxtonMay his name forever standWill he be rememberedThrough parts of all our landHis earthly race is overAnd the curtain 'round him fallsWe'll carry him on to victoryOn the Wabash CannonballChorus
