《Engine 143》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine 143 - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:20] Along came the F-15 the swiftest

[00:00:41] On the line

[00:00:44] Running over the C and O road

[00:00:48] Just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:52] Running into Sou'ville headquarters

[00:00:57] On the line

[00:01:00] Receiving their strict orders

[00:01:03] From a station just behind

[00:01:09] Georgie's mother came to him

[00:01:14] With a bucket on her arm

[00:01:18] She saying My darling son

[00:01:21] Be careful how you run

[00:01:25] Many a man has lost his life

[00:01:30] By trying to make lost time

[00:01:34] But if you run your engine right

[00:01:39] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:45] Up the road she darted against

[00:01:49] To the rocks she crushed

[00:01:52] Upside down the engine turned

[00:01:56] And Georgie's breast did smash

[00:02:00] His head was against the firebox door

[00:02:05] The flames were rolling high

[00:02:09] I'm glad I was born to be an engineer

[00:02:14] On the C and O road to die

[00:02:20] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:23] My darling boy be still

[00:02:27] Your life may yet be saved

[00:02:31] If it is God's blessed will

[00:02:35] Oh no said George

[00:02:37] That will not do I want to die so free

[00:02:44] I want to die for the engine

[00:02:47] I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:55] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:58] Your life cannot be saved

[00:03:02] Murdered upon a railroad

[00:03:06] And laid in a lonesome grave

[00:03:10] His face was covered up

[00:03:13] With blood his eyes you could not see

[00:03:18] The very last words poor Georgie cry was

[00:03:23] Nearer my God to thee
