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!!!
Ninety tons of thunder lighting up the sky
She was the princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was the princess of the night
I'd take a ride across the sky
Speeding sparks like lightning, engine working hard
Furnace on the footplate shining in the night
Iron striking metal the sound of racing steel
That's all I ever wanna hear, it's music to my ears !!!
Ninety tons of thunder lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons see the wheels flash by !!!!
Hear the whistle blowing streaking down the track
If I ever had my way I'd bring the princess back one day
