The Wabash Cannonball is an American folk song that is thought to have originated sometime in the late nineteenth century. It was further popularized by Country Music Hall of Famer Roy Acuff, when he recorded the song in 1936. It is also one of the primary fight songs of Kansas State University, as well as one of the signature songs of the University of Texas at Austin's band.

The Carter Family's 1929 recording and Roy Acuff's 1936 recording, many hillbilly artists recorded The Wabash Cannonball during the Great Depression era of the 1930s and 1940s. The song increased in popularity during this time.
In 1951, Jesse Rogers adapted "Wabash Cannonball" into "Jukebox Cannonball" by retaining the original melody but replacing it with a new set of lyrics. Many recordings of this song were made in the early 1950s, primarily by artists from the New York-Pennsylvania region, including Rogers himself, Ray Whitley, and Rex Zario. Bill Haley and The Saddlemen (later known as The Comets) also had a minor hit with the song in 1952, which was considered an early example of rockabilly. Haley re-recorded the song in 1979

Believing in god or not believing in god is not something that changes overnight. Although some people do makeup their mind from childhood, for most people, it's a long journey that starts with asking questions and not getting sufficiently satisfying answers, it's praying and not praying and noticing that there's no difference in the result between the 2 cases, it's about slowly starting to to believe in other things and noticing your life doesn't change, nor are you struck by lightning. You've opened your mind and are aware of the facts.. I'm guessing in some time you'll slowly stop believing in god, since it's practically impossible to believe in something when everything you know, every fact you learn, goes against your belief. In some cases of course, people still insist on believing in god despite everything, but that's usually out of blind faith and the fact that it's more comfortable to believe than not believe. The way this continues is up to you.

The first original singer was Roy Acuff in 1936, it has been re-released several times since then. You are right ,that is going way back.
