Wabash cannon ball         

She came down from Birmingham one cold December day,

as she run into the station you could hear the people say:

that train from Indiana she’s long and she’s tall

a handsome combination called the Wabash cannon ball.

Hey! Listen to the jingle her rumble and her roar,

when she comes down the mountains through the hills and by the shore.

Hear the mighty rush of engine hear the lonesome hobos call,

he’s racing through the jungle on the Wabash cannon ball.

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide pacific shore

from the green and flowing mountains to the icebound Labrador.

She’s long and she’s handsome and quite well known by all

a handsome combination called the Wabash cannon ball.
