[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
The railroad cars are coming, humming
Through New Mexico
The railroad cars are coming, humming
Through New Mexico

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
The little dogs in dog-town
Will wag each little tail
They'll think that something's coming
A-riding on the rail
The owl tu-whit, tu-whoa

[Chorus]
The railroad cars are coming, humming
Through New Mexico
The railroad cars are coming, humming
Through New Mexico
