《The Newmarket Wreck》歌词

[00:00:00] The Newmarket Wreck - Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Baker/E.K. Brewer/M. Mooney

[00:00:02] The southern railway had a wreck at ten o'clock one morn

[00:00:09] Near hodges and newmarket grounds the place and date adorn

[00:00:16] On the twenty fourth of september the year nineteen and four

[00:00:24] Was when that awful wreck occurred to both the rich and poor

[00:00:32] The trains were going east and west and speeding on their way

[00:00:39] They ran together on a curve and what a wreck that day

[00:00:46] The cars were busted and torn and split

[00:00:49] And spread across the track

[00:00:53] You see a picture of the wreck just over on the back

[00:01:01] Conductor on the west bound train had made a bad mistake

[00:01:08] He never read his orders right and caused that awful fate

[00:01:15] He hurt one hundred and a half and there were seventy dead

[00:01:22] I hope he has forgiveness now and lives without a dread

[00:01:30] The engineer on the east bound train had kissed his darling wife

[00:01:37] Before he got on board his train then he had to give his life

[00:01:44] I trust that he was pure in heart and now is with the blest

[00:01:51] And that his wife will meet him there and be with him at rest

[00:02:00] They found a note the man had wrote and this is what it said

[00:02:07] Please take me home and bury me that filled them all with dread

[00:02:14] Found his body cold in death and then they sent him home

[00:02:21] And buried him with long gone friends with whom he used to roam

[00:02:29] And oh the men and women's moans did echo through the air

[00:02:36] Such cries was never heard before from humans in despair

[00:02:43] The little children cried aloud for mercy to their god

[00:02:50] But now they all are dead and gone and under earthly sod
