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.
