Roy AcuffWabash Cannonball Letras:
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore,
From the green of glowing mountains to the south belle by the shore,
She's mighty tall and handsome, and known quite well by all,
She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball.
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day.
As 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."
[Istrumental break.]
Our eastern states are dandy, so the people always 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 that Wabash Cannonball.
Here's to Daddy Claxton, may his name forever stand.
And always be remembered 'round the courts of Alabam.
His earthly race is over and the curtains 'round him fall.
We'll carry him home to victory on the Wabash Cannonball.
[Instrumental break.]
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,
As she glides along the woodlands through hills and by the shore.
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear that lonesome hoboes' call.
While traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball.
Below is another verse to this song that is known to exist and
appears on other versions of the song:
This train, she runs to Memphis, Mattoon, and Mexico.
She rolls through East St. Louis and she never does it slowl
As she flies through Colorado. She gives an awful squawl,
They tell her by her whistle, The Wabash Cannonball

1 Many variations of the lyrics exist, including:
* 'Courts' instead of 'Hearts'
* 'Glory' instead of 'Victory'
* 'Merry' instead of 'lonesom' hobo
* 'Dixie' instead of 'Victory'
* 'Daddy Cleaton', 'Danny Claxton', 'Daddy Clayton', or 'Boston Blackie'
instead of 'Daddy Claxton'
* 'While' or 'We're' instead of 'You're', in the final line of the chorus.
* There are several known versions of the final line of the first stanza.
Some believe that "she's the 'boes accommodation called the Wabash
Cannonball" was most likely the original final line. However, it is the
least popular today. One common variations calls her a "streamlined
combination."
* There are alternative versions in which the second and third stanzas are
changed significantly, particularly on the 1966 recording by Johnny Cash.
2 Alabam is short for the U.S. state of Alabama.
3 The following story is part of the lore surrounding this song and the
train named the Wabash Cannonball:
"The youngest of the Bunyan boys, (Paul's family), Cal S. Bunyan, built the
most wondrous railroad in the world: The Ireland, Jerusalem, Australian &
Southern Michigan Line. It took the largest steel mill in the country two
years operating on a schedule of 36-hour days and a nine-day week to produce
one rail for Cal. Each tie was made from an entire redwood tree. The train
had 700 cars. It was so long that the conductor rode on a twin-cylinder,
super deluxe motorcycle to check tickets. The train went so fast that, after
it was brought to a dead stop it was still making 65 miles an hour. After
two months of service, the schedule was speeded up, so that the train
arrived at its destination an hour before it left its starting point.
"One day Cal said to the engineer, "Give 'er all she's got!" That was the
end of the I.J.A.&S.M. Railroad. The train traveled so fast that the
friction melted the steel rails and burned the ties to ashes. When it
reached the top of the grade, the engine took off just like an airplane and
carried itself and the 700 cars so far into the stratosphere that the law of
gravity quit working. That was years and years ago, but the I.J.A.&S.M. is
still rushing through space, probably making overnight jumps between the
stars.
"Old time hoboes had a name for this "Flying Dutchman" of a train. They
called her 'The Wabash Cannonball,' and they said there was no station in
America that had not heard her lonesome whistle."
4 From 1934 to 1935, Acuff's backup group was named The Tennessee
Crackerjacks , 1935 to 1938, they were called The Crazy Tenneseeans. In
1938 their name was changed again to The Smoky Mountain Boys. Depending
upon the time records were pressed, the labels reflect the change of name.
Personnel performing on this recording:
* Roy Acuff (guitar)
* Jesse Easterly (guitar)
* Red Jones (bass)
* Beecher Kirby aka: Bashful Brother Oswald (Dobro guitar 8 )

8 Dobro is a trade name now owned by Gibson Guitar Corporation and used for
a particular design of resonator guitar, often called a Hawiian Guitar. The
name, Dobro, was coined by the Dopyera brothers when they formed the Dobro
Manufacturing Company in 1928. In time Dobro came to mean any resonator
guitar, or specifically one with a single inverted resonator.
