Great song - love it - but the last verse is missing:
Here's to Daddy Claxton may his name forever stand - pity!
-
That's hilarious......blew soot all over my wifes new outfit and my white shirt !!.....dear God !!!
-
this kind of american creativity will come back,
-
@baritonebynight ....I agree! Anita had a PHENOMENAL VOICE!!
-
@Rabadamtimtimti...I saw Anita on an old youtube clip...I'm not sure what show it was, but it was one where all three sisters and mother Maybelle sung together, and Anita was quite a looker! A real perty lil thing indeed! But what really stood out to me, was her AMAZING VOICE! Now I'm here to tell you THAT WOMAN COULD SING!!

I am a self admitted opera snob and the voices of most non classically trained singers makies me cringe, but one of the most beautiful natural voices of all times belonged to Anita Carter.

Mmm, sweet Anita... <3

I think the song was first, and the Wabash named one of its trains after it.

I always wondered about the lyrics: "She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball"---but the train only ran between Detroit and St. Louis.

@BenAliGtor The Wabash Cannonball was a fictional train. The song was first recorded by the Carter Family in 1929 but not released until 1932.

@Carters01 Sorry, Pal....I've seen the Wabash Cannonball on it's last run. It stopped in Lafayette, Indiana. We were on our way to church, and managed to get across the tracks before it stopped and blocked them for a half hour or so....Bad news is, when it fired up again, it blew soot all over everything, including my wife's new outfit and my white dress shirt...This was in the spring of 1981 or 1982

@danlee1950 The lyrics were penned in 1904 by William Kindt and it was a re-write of a song called Great Rock-Island Route. The song did not predict that someone would give the name to an actual train.
