Iron Lion

Now I've been an engine driver all of my days

That's the only thing I can do

I hold a good head of steam everywhere that I'm seen

Wherever my wheels rolled through

Wherever my wheels rolled through

Well, I was nearly shut down in a Midwest town

Her hair was red, her eyes were blue

But the wheels on the track kept calling me back

So I bid that girl adieu

Yes, I bid that girl adieu

Blow whistle, steel wheels keep on humming

Hold on darling your engine driver's coming

He's coming through

Some day I'll have to give up the iron line

And then I'll know just what I will find

I'll find me some shack by some old railroad track

So I can hear them motors whine

So I can hear them motors whine

Blow whistle, hear them steel rails humming

Hold on darling your engineer is coming

He's coming through

Now I've been an engine driver all of my days

That's the only thing I can do

I hold a good head of steam anywhere that I'm seen

Anywhere my trains rolled through

Anywhere my trains rolled through

Blow whistle, hear that steel rail humming

Hold on girl your engine driver's coming

Coming to you
