IRON HORSE
(Jeff Christie)
JEFF CHRISTIE
1972
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
Its 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.
