Lyrics[]
From the great Atlantic ocean on the wide Pacific shore
Over the flowing river mighty mountains by the shore
He's alone he's tall and handsome yes he's known by one and all
He's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball.
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
Riding through the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call
Riding through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
Now the eastern states are dandy, so the people always say,
From New York to St. Louis, with Chicago by the way.
From the hills of Minnesota,
where the rippling waters fall,
No chances can be taken on that Wabash Cannonball!
( Yeah Yeah ) On the Wabash Cannonball!
Were going riding on the Wabash Cannonball!
( Hey Hey Hey ) On the Wabash Cannonball!
( Oh Yeah ) On the Wabash Cannonball!
Were going riding riding riding
Schemer: YO! STOP PLAYING IN THERE!
