She used to be an iron horse twenty years ago
And so on
Lyrics
She used to be an iron horse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Nineteen tons of thunder
Riding up the sky
E F G
She was the Princess of the night
You saw the writing on the wall
She was the Princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Speed as much as lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the footplate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It?s all I ever wanna hear
It?s music to my ears
She was the?.
{Solo}
She was the?.
Nineteen tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming right out pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Stickin? down the track
If I?ll ever have my way
I bring the Princess back one day
She was the?.
