《The Great Nashville Railroad Disaster (A True Story)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Nashville Railroad Disaster (A True Story) - David Allan Coe

[00:00:06] One sultry summer morning in the year of 1918

[00:00:12] Three hundred men with ebony skin

[00:00:15] Pulled out of union station

[00:00:19] Heading out of nashville for western tennessee

[00:00:25] Homeward bound cause uncle sam closed down

[00:00:27] The munitions factory

[00:00:35] At that very moment on the cheatham county line

[00:00:41] Old number one train from memphis

[00:00:43] Was running way behind

[00:00:47] Back in the smokey club car a memphis gambling man

[00:00:52] Said gentleman i'm folding these cards

[00:00:55] Cause i drew a dead mans hand

[00:01:03] A young man in a milk truck out near dutchman's grade

[00:01:08] Said oh my god two trains one track

[00:01:11] Then he closed his eyes and he prayed

[00:01:16] A sister from the orphans home made a cross upon her chest

[00:01:21] Cause a one iron beast was coming from the east

[00:01:25] And another one was coming from the west

[00:01:29] The bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground

[00:01:35] The screaming wheels and the grinding steel

[00:01:37] Could be heard for miles around

[00:01:42] The bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground

[00:01:47] The screaming wheels and the grinding steel

[00:01:50] Could be heard for miles around

[00:01:58] Now every july 9th a few miles west of town

[00:02:11] To this day some folks say

[00:02:15] You can hear that mournful sound
