《Engine 143》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine 143 - The Carter Family (卡特家族)/D.R

[00:00:30] Along came the f15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:38] Running o'er the c&o road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:47] Running into cevile head porters on the line

[00:00:53] Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind

[00:01:01] Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm

[00:01:09] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:16] For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time

[00:01:24] And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time

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

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

[00:01:47] His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high

[00:01:55] I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the c&o road

[00:02:04] The doctor said to georgie my darling boy be still

[00:02:11] Your life may yet be saved if it is god's blessed will

[00:02:18] Oh no said george that will not do I want to die so free

[00:02:27] I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:35] The doctor said to georgie your life cannot be saved

[00:02:42] Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave

[00:02:49] His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see

[00:02:57] And the very last words poor georgie said was nearer my god to thee
