《The Engineer’s Child》歌词

[00:00:00] The Engineer's Child - Hank Snow

[00:00:07] A little child on a sickbed lay

[00:00:13] And death was very near

[00:00:20] She was the pride and

[00:00:24] Only child of a railroad engineer

[00:00:33] His duty had called him from those

[00:00:38] He loved and seeing that hope was dim

[00:00:46] While a tear he shed to his wife

[00:00:51] He said just have two lanterns trimmed

[00:01:00] Just hang a light as I pass tonight hang it

[00:01:07] Where it can be seen

[00:01:12] If our baby's dead just show the red if

[00:01:19] She's better then show the green

[00:01:39] In a little house by the railroad track

[00:01:45] A mother with watchful eye

[00:01:52] Saw a gleam of hope

[00:01:55] And a feeble smile as the train went rushing by

[00:02:05] Just one short look was his only

[00:02:10] Chance to see the light agleam

[00:02:18] In the midnight air there arose a prayer

[00:02:25] Thank God the light was green

[00:02:32] Just hang a light

[00:02:35] As I pass tonight hang it

[00:02:39] Where it can be seen

[00:02:44] If our baby's dead just show the red

[00:02:51] If she's better then show the green
