《Engine 143》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine 143 - Joan Baez

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

[00:00:43] Running o'er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:51] Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line

[00:00:58] Receiving there strict orders from a station just behind

[00:01:08] Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm

[00:01:16] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:24] For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time

[00:01:32] But if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time

[00:01:43] Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed

[00:01:50] Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast was smashed

[00:01:59] His head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling high

[00:02:07] I'm glad to be born for an engineer on the C&O road to die

[00:02:18] The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy lie still

[00:02:25] Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will

[00:02:33] Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free

[00:02:42] I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:52] The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved

[00:03:00] Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave

[00:03:07] His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see

[00:03:16] And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
