《Engine 143》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine 143 - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

[00:00:16] Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line

[00:00:27] Running o'er the CO road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:36] Running into Seville head quarters on the line

[00:00:44] Receiving very strict orders from a station just behind

[00:00:55] Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm

[00:01:04] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:12] For many a man has lost his life

[00:01:17] In trying to make lost time

[00:01:21] But if you run your engine right

[00:01:26] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:33] Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed

[00:01:40] Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash

[00:01:49] His head was against the firebox door

[00:01:54] The flames were rolling high

[00:01:58] I'm glad I's born for an engineer

[00:02:03] To die on sea old road

[00:02:10] The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still

[00:02:18] Your life may yet be saved if it is

[00:02:22] God's blessed will

[00:02:26] Oh no cried George that will not do

[00:02:31] I'd want to die so free

[00:02:35] I want to die for the engine

[00:02:37] I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:44] The doctor said to Georgie your life

[00:02:49] May not be saved

[00:02:52] Murdered upon a railroad and laid

[00:02:57] In a lonesome grave

[00:03:00] His face was covered up in blood

[00:03:05] And his eyes they could not see

[00:03:09] And the very last words poor

[00:03:11] Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
