Christie Iron Horse

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

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