paroles de chanson The Wabash Cannonball (Remastered) - Pete Seeger

I stood on the Atlantic Ocean
On the wide Pacific shore
Heard the Queen of flowing mountains
To the South Belle by the door
She's long and tall and handsome
She's loved by one and all
She's a modern combination
Called the Wabash Cannonball
Now listen to the jingle
The rumble and the roar
Riding through the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
Hear that lonesome hobo squall
Riding through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball
Now the eastern states are dandies
So the western people say
From New York to St. Louis
And Chicago by the way
Through the hills of Minnesota
Where them rippling waters fall
No chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball
Now listen to the jingle
The rumble and the roar
Riding through the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
Hear that lonesome hobo squall
Riding through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball
Here's to Daddy Claxton
May his name forever stand
Will he be remembered
Through parts of all our land?
When his earthly race is over
The curtain 'round him falls
We'll carry him on to victory
On the Wabash Cannonball
Listen to the jingle
The rumble and the roar
Riding through the woodlands
Through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of engines
Hear that lonesome hobo squall
Riding through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball
