The Old Iron Horse is a song heard in the 1953 animated Disney short, Melody.
Background[]
The song is sung during the "inspiration" segment of the short, where an unnamed bird student shows a drawing of a train as an example of things that we write melodies about. On the RCA Victor read-along album, this song is followed by the first two lines of "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad".
Lyrics[]
Oh, the Old Iron Horse went a-chuggin' along
Chuggin' along, chuggin' along
Oh, they hammered the rails
With a bucket full of nails
Singin' the railroad song
