  as she glides along the woodlands through the hill and by the shore
                                                            C

2.From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wild Pacific shore
  from sunny California to the ice-bound Labrador
  she's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
  she's boes accomodation on the Wabash Cannonball.
R:3. This train she runs to Memphis Matoon and Mexico
  she rolls through East Saint Louis and she never does it slow
  as she flies through Colorado she gives an awful squall
  they tell her by her whistle the Wabash Cannonball.
R:4. Our eastern states are dandy so the people always say
  from New York to Saint Louis and Chicago by the way
  from the hills of Minnesotta where the rippling waters fall
  no changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
R:5. Now here's to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand
  and long to be remembered by the bums throughout the land
  his earthly days are over and the curtains round him fall
  we'll carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball.
