Wanda Jackson - Wabash Cannonball Lyrics
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of flowing mountains to the south bells by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
She's the combination on the Wabash Cannonball
She came down from Birmingham one cold December day
There's a gal from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
Our eastern states're dandy so all the people say
From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesotta where the wrippling 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 ports throughout the land
His earthly race is over the curtains round him fall
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 the lonesome hoboes squall
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
You're traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball

Wanda Jackson Wabash Cannonball Comments
Great Wanda Jackson and icon.
I remember at Capital Records in 1966 I was signed to Capital as a member of the New Generation we would go record see Buck Owens and Linda from the Stone Ponies the Knack and I think I met Wanda i Our Producer Nick Vanet would talk about the Artists that we’re pumping out many hits We invited all Capital artists to our live recording session in studio A that year I think she was said to be there I wish I would have known she was a true Professional and talented Star in my eyes

beautiful, but still,... Hank Snow
Lot of versions of this out there. Jackson's is terrific, in a Loretta Lynn vein, but closest to Roy Acuff's 1947 version--she uses his verse order and even his "Daddy Claxton," using the middle name of Roy Claxton Acuff. (The Carter family version, the most prominent before Acuff's 1936 version, used the mysterious "Daddy Cleedon.")
God bless good ole AP.
and the gentlemen he pinched it from
@mrblindfreddy9999 Alot of these ole songs would´ve been fergotten
