Iron Horse

Christie

Through the plains and valleys,
Across the great divide,
White man brought his thunder,
From the other side.

Burning smoke and wing of steel,
Breathing fire from flaming wheels,
Reaching out for a new frontier,
Making sure the way was clear.

Iron horse, iron horse,
Keep on burning on its course.
Iron horse, iron horse,
Burning on and on,
Keep on burning on.

Over sand and water,
Across the canyon too,
Through the crimson sunset,
It's mighty whistle blew.

Burning smoke and wing of steel,
Breathing fire from flaming wheels,
Reaching out for a new frontier,
Making sure the way was clear.

Iron horse, iron horse,
Keep on burning on its course.
Iron horse, iron horse,
Burning on and on,
Keep on burning on.

Iron horse, iron horse,
Keep on burning on its course.
Iron horse, iron horse,
Keep on burning on,
Keep on burning on,
Keep on burning on,
Keep on burning on.
