It's a kind of corny old cowboy song, but I like it.
Here is one version of it:
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore,
He climbs the flowering mountains over the hills and by the shore,
He's mighty tall and handsome. He's known quite well by all,
He's a regular combination, the Wabash Cannonball.
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,
As he glides along the woodlands, over 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.
Oh the eastern states are dandy so the people always say,
From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way,
To the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall,
No chances need be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.
Well he came down from Birmingham one cold December day.
As he pulled into the station, you could hear all the people say
He's from Alabama. He's long and he's tall,
He came down from Birmingham, 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.
"The Wabash Cannonball" is an American folk song about a fictional train, thought to have originated sometime in the late nineteenth century. Its first documented appearance was on sheet music published in 1882.

Not about a train, but riding on one.
