Sandy Denny - Iron Lion Lyrics
Now Ive been an engine driver all of my days,Thats the only thing I can do.I hold a good head of steam everywhere that Im seen,Wherever my wheels rolled through,Wherever my wheels rolled through.I was nearly shut down in a mid-west town,Her hair was red, her eyes were blue,But the wheels on the truck kept calling me back,So I bid that girl adieu,Yes I bid that girl adieu.ChorusBlow whistle, steel wheels keep on humming,Hold on darling your engine drivers coming,Hes coming throughSome day Ill have to give up the iron line,And then Ill know just what I will find.Ill find me some shack by some old railroad track,So I can hear them motors whine,So I can hear them motors whine.(chorus)Now Ive been an engine driver all of my days,Thats the only thing I can do.I hold a good head of steam everywhere that Im seen,Anywhere my trains rolled through,Anywhere my trains rolled through.(chorus)
