[00:00:00] The Wreck Of The Number Nine - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:01] Written by：Carson J. Robison

[00:00:04] One dark stormy night not a star was in sight

[00:00:09] The north wind came howlin' down the line

[00:00:13] There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear

[00:00:19] And this orders to pull old no 9

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

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

[00:00:33] The whole world seemed bright for she told him that night

[00:00:38] That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride

[00:00:43] The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along

[00:00:48] The black smoke came a pouring from the stack

[00:00:53] The headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream

[00:00:58] Of tomorrow when he'd be going back

[00:01:03] He sped 'round the hill and his brave heart stood still

[00:01:08] Headlight was shining in his face

[00:01:13] 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

[00:01:38] He asked them to raise his weary head

[00:01:43] His breath slowly went at this message he sent

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

[00:01:52] 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

[00:02:07] Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
