From the great Atlantic Ocean

　　To the wide Pacific shore

　　From the queen of flowing mountains

　　To the southland by the shore

　　She's a-mighty tall and handsome

　　And known quite well by all

　　She's the mighty engine of

　　The Wabash Cannonball

　　Great cities of importance

　　We see along the way

　　Chicago and St. Louis

　　Rock Island， so they say

　　Springfield and Decatur

　　Peoria above all

　　You can reach your destination

　　On the Wabash Cannonball

　　This train， she runs to Quincy

　　Monroe and Mexico

　　She runs to Kansas City

　　And she's never running slow

　　She runs right into Denver

　　Where she makes an awful squall

　　They all know by the whistle

　　She's the Wabash Cannonball

　　There're many other cities

　　That you can go and see

　　St. Paul and Minneapolis

　　Ashtabula， Kankakee

　　The lakes of Minnehaha

　　Where the laughing waters fall

　　You'll reach them by no other

　　But the Wabash Cannonball

　　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 call

　　You're traveling through the jungles on

　　The Wabash Cannonball

　　You're traveling through the jungles on

　　The Wabash Cannonball
