Big John Khatt And The Highland Blues Band - The Wabash Cannonball
Tono: Original
The Wabash Cannonball:Big John Khat And The Highland
Blues Band.
Recorded live in Metz, France in 1962.
(Always got a lot of requests for this one, no matter where
we played. I learned this version as a wee lad, way back
when. However, there are several versions of the lyrics..
the original is believed to have been written in 1882.)
#1.
G C
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore..
D G
she climbs the flowery mountains, over hills and by the shore.
G C
She's mighty tall and handsome, and she's known quite well by all.
D G
She's the hobo's accomodation..the Wabash Cannonball.
#2.
G C
Oh, the Eastern states are dandy, so the Western people say..
D G
Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis..by the way.
G C
To the lakes of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall..
D G
no changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
CHORUS:
G C
Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar..
D G
as she glides along the woodland, over hills and by the shore.
G C
Hear the mighty rush of her engine..hear the lonesome hobos call..
D G
she glides along the woodlands, the Wabash Cannonball.
#3.
G C
Well, she came on down from Birming-Town one cold December day..
D G
as she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say.
G C
She's from Tennessee..she's long and she's tall.
D G
She come on down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball.
#4.
G C
Oh, here's to Daddy Claxon, let his name forever be..
D G
and long be remembered in the courts of Tennessee.
G C
For he's a good old rounder 'til the curtains 'round him fall..
D G
he'll be carried on to Glory on the Wabash Cannonball.
#5.
G C
I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue..
D G
across the Eastern counties on Elkhorn Number Two.
G C
I have rode those highball trains, from coast to coast and all..
D G
but I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball.
CHORUS:
G C
Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar..
D G
as she winds along the woodlands, over hills and by the shore.
G C
She's a mighty pretty lady, she's long and she's tall..
D G
she's come on down from Birming-Town..the Wabash Cannonball.
OUTRO:
G C
Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar..
D G
as she winds along the woodlands, over hills and by the shore.
G C
Hear the mighty rush of her engine..hear the lonesome hobos call..
D G
she's ridin' on to Glory..the Wabash Cannonball..(Fade.)
An 1882 smash from Kraziekhat.
