She used to be an iron horse, twenty years ago Used to bring the mail to me, through the ice and snow A saddle on a roster, steaming through the night Ninety tons of thunder, lighting up the sky She was the princess of the night We saw her riding on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across the sky Her speed was like lightning Injured working hard The furnace on the footlaid Shining in the night Iron striking metal The sound of racing steel It's all I ever wanna hear This music to my ears She was the princess of the night We saw her riding on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across the sky She was the princess of the night We saw her riding on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across Ninety tons of thunder Lighting up the sky Steaming red hot pistons Seas of wheels flash by Hear the whistle blow Screaming down the track If I ever had my way I'd bring the princess back one day She was the princess of the night We saw her riding on the wall She was the princess of the night I'd take a ride across the sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky
