[00:00:00] The Wreck of the Number Nine - Jimmy Reeves

[00:00:02] Written by：Carson J. Robinson

[00:00:05] One dark stormy night not a star was in sight

[00:00:10] The north wind came howling down the line

[00:00:14] There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear

[00:00:19] And his orders to pull old number nine

[00:00:24] She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye

[00:00:29] The joy in his heart he couldn't hide

[00:00:34] The whole world seemed right for she told him that night

[00:00:39] That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride

[00:00:44] The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along

[00:00:49] The black smoke came pouring from the stack

[00:00:54] The headlight a gleam seemed to brighten his dream

[00:00:59] Of tomorrow when he'd be goin' back

[00:01:04] He sped around the hill and his brave heart stood still

[00:01:09] The headlight was shining in his face

[00:01:14] He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air

[00:01:18] For he knew this would be his final race

[00:01:33] In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground

[00:01:39] He asked them to raise his weary head

[00:01:44] His breath slowly went as this message he sent

[00:01:48] To a maiden who thought she would be wed

[00:01:53] There's a little white home that I built for our own

[00:01:58] Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I

[00:02:03] But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true

[00:02:08] Til we meet at the Golden Gate goodbye
