Subject: RE: Wabash Cannonball From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 15 Nov 98 - 02:19 AM The Wabash Cannonball is a fictitious train going over a fictitious route. It might have been written in to praise the countryside of America. (and Daddy Clayton, whoever he is.) As the song says, the train is a "regular combination". Murray |

Subject: Wabash Cannonball From: TonyK Date: 14 Nov 98 - 11:16 PM Is this song about more than just a train? Seems to me I heard somewhere that it has another meaning related to hobo life. |
