(G) She come down from Birmingham
one cold December (C) day
As she (D7) rode into the station
you could hear the people (G) say
"That train from Indiana
she's long and she's (C) tall
a (D7) handsome combination called
the Wabash Cannon (G) ball"

Now listen to the jingle
the rumble and the (C) roar
As (D7) she comes down the mountain
through the hills and by the (G) shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
hear the lonesome hobo's (C) call
(D7) racing through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon (G) ball

From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific (C) shore
From the (D7) green and flowing mountains
to the old dell by the (G) moor
She's long and she's handsome
and quite well known by (C) all
a (D7) handsome combination called the Wabash Cannon (G) ball

Now listen to the jingle
the rumble and the (C) roar
As (D7) she comes down the mountain
through the hills and by the (G) shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
hear the lonesome hobo's (C) call
(D7) racing through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon (G) ball

Now here's to that old engineer
his name will ever (C) stand
He'll always (D7) be remembered in the parts throughout the (G) land
When his mighty race is over
and the curtain around him (C) falls
they'll (D7) carry him back to Dixie on the Wabash Cannon (G) ball

Now listen to the jingle
the rumble and the (C) roar
As (D7) she comes down the mountain
through the hills and by the (G) shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
hear the lonesome hobo's (C) call
(D7) racing through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon (G) ball
