Wabash Cannonball - Leon Russell, Willie Nelson

From the great Atlantic ocean

To the wide Pacific shore

To the queen of flowing mountains

For the hills and by the shore

She’s mighty tall and handsome

And she’s known quite well by all

She came down from Birmingham

On the Wabash Cannonball

Well now listen to the jingle

To the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland

Through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine

And the lonesome hoboes call

No changes can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball

Now here’s to daddy Claxton

May his name forever stand

He’ll always be remembered

In the ports throughout the land

His earthly race is over

And the curtain round him falls

We’ll carry him home to Glory

On the Wabash Cannonball

Well now listen to the jingle

To the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland

Through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine

And the lonesome hoboes call

No changes can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball

Well listen to the jingle

To the rumble and the roar

As she glides along the woodland

Through the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of the engine

And the lonesome hoboes call

No changes can be taken

On the Wabash Cannonball
