She used to be an ironhorse 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 clouding (riding ?) 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 at 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
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
(Repeat) Ninety tons of thunder clouding (riding) up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons see
the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
steaming down the track
If I ever had my way I'd bring
the princess back one day
