Came down from Birmingham
As she rode into the station
you could hear the people say
she's long and she's tall
called the Wabash Cannonball
Hey, listen to the jingle,
As she comes down the mountains,
through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rideship engine,
hear the lonesome hobos call
He's racing through this jungle
From the great Atlantic Ocean
to the wide Pacific shore
From the green and flowing mountains
She's long and she's handsome
and quite well -known by all
called the Wabash Cannonball
Hey, listen to the jingle,
As she comes down the mountain,
through the hills and by the shore
He's the mighty right of engine,
he's the lonesome hobo's call
He's ra cing through the jungle
Well, here's to that old engine,
He'll always be remembered
in the course throughout the land
When this mighty race is over,
and the curtains round it fall
He'll carry him back to Dixie
Hey, listen to the jingle,
hear the rumble, hear the roar
As he comes down the mountain,
through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty race a -bendin',
hear the lonesome hobos call
Yeah, he races through the jungle
on the Wabash Cannonball you
