_______
 
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore,
From the queen of flowing mountains to the southland by the shore,
She's mighty tall and handsome and quite well know by all.
How we love the choo-choo of The Wabash Canon Ball.
 
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore,
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the lonesome hobo's call,
As you travel across the country on the Wabash Cannonball.
