[00:00:00] Engine 143 - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:00] Written by：CARTER, A.P.

[00:00:08] Along came the F-15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:17] Running over the C and O road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:27] Running into Cevile head porters on the line

[00:00:35] Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind

[00:00:46] Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm

[00:00:56] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:04] Many a man has lost his life by trying to make lost time

[00:01:13] But if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time

[00:01:31] Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed

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

[00:01:48] His head was against the firebox door the flames were rolling high

[00:01:58] I'm glad I was born to be an engineer on the C and O road to die

[00:02:08] The doctor said to Georgie my darling son be still

[00:02:19] Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will

[00:02:28] Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free

[00:02:37] I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:49] The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved

[00:03:00] Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave

[00:03:08] His face was covered up with blood his eyes you could not see

[00:03:17] The very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
