Jerry Reed - Wabash Cannonball Lyrics






Hmm from the big Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
As she climbs along the woodlands to the hills and by the shore
Well she's a mighty big and handsome and she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination called the Wabash Cannonball

Well now she came in from Birmingham one cold December day
And as she rolled into the station well you could hear all the people say
Now there's a little gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She just came in from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball

[ guitar ]
Now 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 and the curtains around him fall
And we'll take him home to Victory on the Wabash Cannonball

    The is clearly the best take ever taken of this song by anyone ever.

  7. T.... P....

    Many folks did not realize what a great guitarist this man was, seems like he was more known for comedy and acting. Jerry's specialty was also his unique guitar tuning techniques, very unconventional ... I rank Jerry in "the best of the best" category ... with folks like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Roy Clark, etc. Cannonball is such a great piece too! - - Ranch Chimp Journal

    Genius he is
