California Zephyr

(albüm: The Complete Hank Williams - 1998)

From the Great Salt Lakes of Utah to California's golden shore
Colorado and Nevada through the deserts burning door
While she's circling through the canyons, can't you see that mountain stream
It's the California Zephyr, the Union Pacific Queen

See her rocking see her rolling as she rambles on her way
She left LA this morning burning up the right of way
In the distance hear her moaning hear her lonesome whistle scream
It's the California Zephyr, the Union Pacific Queen

She leaves the city of the angels heading for ole Santa Fe
She's a making nauts she's making 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 burning door
While she's circling through the canyons, can't you see that mountain stream
It's the California Zephyr, the Union Pacific Queen
