Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Mean Mary James performing Iron Horse on WLRN Folk & Acoustic Music with Michael Stock 91.3 FM WLRN November 17, 2013
I am slowly responding to posts from last week.
Iron Horse
Lyrics
"We rode the plains as lovers do
We raced beneath the summer sun
My dusky eyes met his so blue
Our soaring spirits breathed as one
We blazed our love across the sky
Surrendered to its ancient force
Until the day he said goodbye
And climbed aboard the Iron horse
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
As we chased it up the Great Divide
Though my steed had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
Its whistle cut me like a blade
I loathed its screaming, smoky cry
How could he leave His Indian maid?
I'll ride like wind and ask him why
Astride my fearless painted dun
I chose my pace and set my course
To catch this demon on the run
My steed against this iron horse
I heard its challenge loud and shrill
As it labored up the Great Divide.
Though my steed had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
It roared its challenge loud and shrill
As it labored up the Great Divide.
Though I had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
Through the thunder of its blare
I yelled my fury at the beast
Wasted words lost in the air
As it roared its way forever east
And the iron horse's speed increased …"
