Tumble Weeds - Wabash cannon ball 1973

Tumble Weeds - Wabash cannon ball 1973

From the great Atlantic Ocean
to the wide Pacific shore
from the green and flowing mountains
to the south belt by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
she's known quite well by all
she's a combination
on the Wabash Cannonball

She came down from Birmingham
one cold December day
and she rolled into the station
you could hear all the people say
There's a girl from Tennessee,
she's long and she's tall
she came down from Birmingham
on the Wabash Cannonball

(Instrumental)

Our the eastern states are dandy
so all the people say
From New York to St. Louis
and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota
where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken
on the Wabash Cannonball

So here's to Daddy Claxton
may his name forever stand
and always be remembered
in the courts throughout the land
His earthly race is over
the curtains round him fall
we'll carry him home for victory
on the Wabash Cannonball

(Instrumental)

So listen to the jingle,
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
hear that lonesome hobo sqall
they're travelling through the jungle
on the Wabash Cannonball

(Instrumental)

Geweldige TV opname in 1973 voor de Duitse TV in het programma van Ilja Richter. Ine Masseurs samen met haar broers in topvorm. Ruud Hermans was op dat moment net bij de Tumbleweeds.

De naam van de Band is overigens The Tumbleweeds en geen Tumble Weeds
