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
