《Engine 143》歌词

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

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:34] Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:43] Running o'er the C&O road

[00:00:48] Just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:51] Running into Cevile head porters on the line

[00:00:59] Receiving their strict orders

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

[00:01:08] Georgie's mother came to him

[00:01:13] With a bucket on her arm

[00:01:17] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:24] For many a man has lost his life

[00:01:29] In trying to make lost time

[00:01:33] And if you run your engine right

[00:01:37] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:43] Up the road he darted

[00:01:47] Against the rocks he crushed

[00:01:51] Upside down the engine turned

[00:01:55] And Georgie's breast did smash

[00:01:59] His head was against the firebox door

[00:02:04] The flames are rolling high

[00:02:07] I'm glad I was born for

[00:02:10] An engineer on the C&O road to die

[00:02:18] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:22] My darling boy be still

[00:02:25] Your life may yet be saved

[00:02:29] If it is God's blessed will

[00:02:33] Oh no said George that will not do

[00:02:38] I want to die so free

[00:02:42] I want to die for the engine

[00:02:45] I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:52] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:56] Your life cannot be saved

[00:03:00] Murdered upon a railway

[00:03:04] And laid in a lonesome grave

[00:03:07] His face was covered up

[00:03:10] With blood his eyes they could not see

[00:03:16] And the very last words

[00:03:18] Poor Georgie cry when nearer my God to thee
