[00:00:00] The Wreck Of The Number Nine - Vernon Dalhart

[00:00:02] The Wreck Of The Number Nine - Vernon Dalhart

[00:00:41] On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight

[00:00:45] And the north wind came howling down the line

[00:00:50] With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer

[00:00:55] With his orders to pull old No 9

[00:01:00] She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye

[00:01:05] But the joy in his heart he could not hide

[00:01:10] Oh the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night

[00:01:15] That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride

[00:01:58] Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along

[00:02:03] And the black smoke came pouring from the stack

[00:02:08] And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream

[00:02:13] Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back

[00:02:17] He steered around the hill and his brave heart stood still

[00:02:22] For a headlight was shining in his face

[00:02:27] And he whispered a prayer as he drew on the air

[00:02:32] For he knew this would be his final grace

[00:03:15] In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground

[00:03:19] And he asked them to raise his weary head

[00:03:24] As his breath slowly went this the message he sent

[00:03:29] To the maiden who thought she would be wed

[00:03:34] There's a little white home that I built for our own

[00:03:39] Where I dreamed we'd be happy by and by

[00:03:44] But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true

[00:03:48] Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
