dct:abstract

%22The Wabash Cannonball%22 is an American folk song about a fictional train, thought to have originated in the late nineteenth century. Its first documented appearance was on sheet music published in 1882, titled %22The Great Rock Island Route%22 and credited to J. A. Roff. All subsequent versions contain a variation of the chorus:Now listen to the jingle, and the rumble, and the roar,As she dashes thro' the woodland, and speeds along the shore,See the mighty rushing engine, hear her merry bell ring out,As they speed along in safety, on the %22Great Rock-Island Route.%22A rewritten version by William Kindt appeared in 1904 under the title %22Wabash Cannon Ball%22.The Carter Family made one of the first recordings of the song in 1929, though it was not released until 1932. Another popular version was recorded by Roy Acuff in 1936. The Acuff version is one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide.It is a signature song of the Indiana State University Marching Sycamores and the Purdue All-American Marching Band as the ISU and Purdue campuses are near the Wabash River. It is also associated with the Stephen F. Austin State University Lumberjack Marching Band, the Kansas State University Marching Band, and the University of Texas Longhorn Band. It was also used as the theme song by the USS Wabash (AOR-5).The song %22The Wabash Cannonball%22 is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. It is the oldest song on the list.
