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
Burning on and on
Keep on burning on
Keep on burning on
Keep on burning on
