The Great Rock Island Route!! written by J. A. Roff

aka "Wabash Cannonball". Kindt published sheet music for his 1904 "Wabash Cannon Ball", but it is likely that his revised lyrics of the 1882 song The Great Rock Island Route!! were written by unknown authors prior to 1904. The Carter Family made one of the earlier recordings of this new song and A.P. Carter registered it as his own (which he often did), so today most people incorrectly attribute this song to him. Roy Acuff's 1938 version sold over ten million records.
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
She climbs a flowery mountains o'er the hills and by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all
She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day
As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say
She's from Tennessee she's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball
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 round him fall
We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call
Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball - Licensing
