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 it's course

Iron horse iron horse

Burning on and on

Keep on burnin' 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 it's course

Iron horse iron horse

Burning on and on

Keep on burnin' on

Iron horse iron horse

Keep on burning on it's course

Iron horse iron horse

Burning on and on

Keep on burnin' on

Keep on burnin' on

Keep on burnin' on
