《Engine》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine 143

[00:00:34] Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:43] Running o'er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:51] Running into Cevile head porters on the line

[00:00:59] Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind

[00:01:08] Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm

[00:01:17] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:24] For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time

[00:01:33] And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time

[00:01:43] Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed

[00:01:51] Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash

[00:01:59] His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high

[00:02:07] I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C&O road

[00:02:18] The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still

[00:02:25] Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will

[00:02:33] Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free

[00:02:42] I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:52] The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved

[00:03:00] Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave

[00:03:07] His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see

[00:03:16] And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
