《The Silver Ghost》歌词

[00:00:11] (歌手独白)

[00:00:18]

[00:00:24] On a cold and rainy night I was sitting in the light

[00:00:29] Oh my switchman shack of mine post on the mountain

[00:00:34] The storms were pretty bad and the telephone was dead

[00:00:38] But it was just eleven hours till the dawn

[00:00:43] Then much to my surprice the telegraph jumped in the light

[00:00:47] As I read the code I thought could this be true

[00:00:53] The train was on its way headed up to mountain grade

[00:00:57] But she didn't have no engineer or crew

[00:01:02] At the other switch they tried to put her on the mountain side

[00:01:06] But she kept on coming up the mountain grade

[00:01:11] But I quickly dowse the light to try to see into the night

[00:01:16] Maybe I could spot her headlight in the rain

[00:01:21] She was pounding down below I could hear her whistle blow

[00:01:25] And I thought Lord that's a high and mournful sound

[00:01:30] Then the telegraph again there's a caving in the mine

[00:01:35] And the hundred men have burried neath the ground

[00:01:45] Lord she's coming now I see her round the bend and straight at me

[00:01:50] And her ballet is glowing red as coal in hell

[00:01:55] The headlinght switching wide searching all the mountain side

[00:01:59] But the only sound she's making it's a wail

[00:02:04] Then I recognized the train by the number and the name

[00:02:09] It's from miners silver ghost O fifty-one

[00:02:14] Then she vanished up the track by the lonely swutchman shack

[00:02:18] Like a mother who was looking for her son

[00:02:24] Now I heard the story how an engine went to glory

[00:02:29] Over fifty years ago in the same line

[00:02:33] It was steaming for the caving there were men needed saving

[00:02:38] But it missed the curve in trestle near the mine

[00:02:43] And every now and then you'll hear a whistle on the wind

[00:02:48] It's from mountail slides where many men're lost

[00:02:53] It's a high and lonely wail and searching up and down the mountain

[00:02:58] It's the train they call the miners silver ghost

[00:03:03] The train they call the miners silver ghost

[00:03:08] The train they call the miners silver ghost
