Subject: RE: Origins: Wabash Cannonball
The Delmore Brothers recorded a great version. Also, Bruce "Haywire Brack" Brackner of Victoria B.C. just recorded another version sung to the tune of DARCY FARROW. Believe me, it works.

These days I sing the last verse as;

Here's to Utah Phillips may his name forever stand,
He's a hobo that's respected on the rails throughout the land,
And when his race is over and the curtain round him falls,
May his spirit ever linger on the Wabash Cannonball.
