Roy Acuff Wabash Cannonball Live Video 1989
Roy Acuff Wabash Cannonball Lyrics
From the great Atlantic ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of flowin' mountain
To the southbelt by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
And known quite well by all
She's the combination
On the Wabash Cannonball
She came down from Birmingham
One cold December day
As she rolled into the station
You could hear all the people say
There's a girl from Tennessee
She's long and she's tall
She came down from Birmingham
On the Wabash Cannonball
Our eastern states are dandies
So the people always say
From New York to St. Louis
And Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota
Where the rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken
On that Wabash Cannonball
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 squall
You're travlin' through the jungles
On the Wabash Cannonball

I wished I could have seen Mr. Roy Acuff

[@bwdw929]

Saw Roy Acuff live on the Opry around this timeframe. As a teenager, I remember being impressed that a man in his mid-to-upper 80s could still perform as well as he did. A true legend.

I wish I can meet him in person

Brother Oswald on the dobro.

For being right around 86-87 here, he's doing pretty well.
