The great Pacific railway, For California hail! Bring on the locomotive, Lay down the iron rail; Across the rolling prairies By steam we're bound to go, The railroad cars are coming, humming Through New Mexico, The railroad cars are coming, humming Through New Mexico. The little dogs in dog-town Will wag each little tail; They'll think that something's coming A-riding on a rail. The rattlesnake will show its fangs, The owl tu-whit, tu-who, The railroad cars are coming, humming Through New Mexico, The railroad cars are coming, humming Through New Mexico. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING AS VISION by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE LIFE SO SHORT by EAMON GRENNAN DESIRE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON I WANT TO LIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON HONEY DRIPPER by CLARENCE MAJOR |
