《The Wreck of the Old Number 9》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck of the Old Number 9 - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:05] One dark stormy night not a

[00:00:08] Star was in sight

[00:00:10] The North wind came howling

[00:00:12] Down the line

[00:00:14] There stood a brave engineer

[00:00:17] With his sweetheart so dear

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

[00:00:22] Number Nine

[00:00:24] She kissed him goodbye

[00:00:27] With a tear in her eye

[00:00:30] The joy in his heart he

[00:00:32] Couldn't hide

[00:00:34] The whole world seemed

[00:00:36] Right for she told him that night

[00:00:41] That tomorrow she'd be

[00:00:43] His blushing bride

[00:00:44] The wheels hummed a song

[00:00:47] As the train rolled along

[00:00:49] The black smoke came

[00:00:51] Pouring from the stack

[00:00:54] The headlight a-gleam

[00:00:56] Seemed to brighten his dream

[00:00:59] Of tomorrow when he'd

[00:01:01] Be goin' back

[00:01:04] He sped around the hill and

[00:01:07] His brave heart stood still

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

[00:01:14] He whispered a prayer as

[00:01:16] He threw on the air

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

[00:01:21] His final race

[00:01:33] In the wreck he was found

[00:01:36] Lying there on the ground

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

[00:01:41] Weary head

[00:01:44] His breath slowly went as

[00:01:46] This message he sent

[00:01:48] To a maiden who thought

[00:01:51] She would be wed

[00:01:53] "There's a little white home

[00:01:56] That I built for our own

[00:01:58] Where I dreamed we'd

[00:02:00] Be happy you and I

[00:02:03] But I leave it to you for

[00:02:06] I know you'll be true

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

[00:02:11] Gate goodbye "
