EShe came down from up near Katherine
Moved Ain across the Eridge
She was Eeverything a young man could Bdesire
EOut there in the ranges 
In Asecret we would Emeet
My Eheart ran as Bwild as desert Efire
[Chorus]
Like a burning Esun beating down
She sparked a Bflame on virgin Eground
And if by chance a Afire should Estart
No one could Btame the burning EheartE  
[Verse]
Well her Efather owned the station
Where I Arode the boundry Efences
And he Emade it clear for all the hands to Bsee
That a Eman could easily wind up
On the Awrong end of his Eshot gun
And his Elittle girl was Bonly sevenEteen
[Chorus]
Like a burning Esun beating down
She sparked a Bflame on virgin Eground
And if by chance a Afire should Estart
No one could Btame the burning Eheart
