California Zephyr Songtext
von Hank Williams

From the Great Salt Lakes of Utah to California′s golden shore
Colorado and Nevada through the desert's 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 knots, 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
