Lyrics Hank Williams

Hank Williams

California Zephyr

From the Great Salt Lakes of Utah

To California's golden shore

Colorado and Nevada

Through the deserts burnin' door

While she's circlin' through the canyons

Can't you see that mountain stream

It's the California Zephyr

The Union Pacific Queen

See her rockin' see her rollin'

As she rambles on her way

She left L.A. this mornin'

Burnin' up the right of way

In the distance hear her moanin'

Hear her lonesome whistle scream

It's the California Zephyr

The Union Pacific Queen

She leaves the city of the angels

Headin' for ole Santa Fe

She's a makin' nauts, she's makin' time

Just watch her swing and sway

And from way out in the darkness

See that headlight gleam

It's the California Zephyr

The Union Pacific Queen

From the Great Salt Lakes of Utah

To California's golden shore

Colorado and Nevada

Through the deserts burnin' door

While she's circlin' through the canyons

Can't you see that mountain stream

It's the California Zephyr

The Union Pacific Queen
