《Engine 143》歌词

[00:00:02] Engine 143 - Joan Baez

[00:00:34] Along came the f-15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:43] Running over the c and o road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:51] Running into sou'ville headquarters 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

[00:01:16] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:24] There's many a man has lost his life by trying to make lost time

[00:01:32] But 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

[00:01:50] Upside down the engine turned and georgie's breast did smash

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

[00:02:07] I'm proud to be born to be an engineer

[00:02:12] On the c and o road to die

[00:02:18] The doctor said to georgie my darling son 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] And 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 cry was nearer my god to thee
