Lyrics
(All Riders): Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

She's thundering loud, she's roaring haughty and proud at the break of day

Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

I'll ride her on the blinds if I can catch her on time

Here comes the Santa Fe

(Too Slim): A drifting cowboy alone 

At the breaking of dawn slowly wakes from a dreamless sleep

(Ranger Doug): By the rippling falls where his wonder was called

In a gouge with a canyon steep

(Woody Paul): Where the silvery rails follow mountainous trails

Across the prairie and on to the sea

(All Riders): Where the girl he loves best, in a stockingham dress

Is waiting for the whistle's scream

Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

She's thundering loud, she's roaring haughty and proud at the break of day

Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

I'll ride her on the blinds if I can catch her on time

Here comes the Santa Fe

Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

She's thundering loud, she's roaring haughty and proud at the break of day

Oooh, watch her fly, here comes the Santa Fe

I'll ride her on the blinds if I can catch her on time

Here comes the Santa Fe
