《Engine One-Forty-Three》歌词

[00:00:00] Engine One-Forty-Three - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:31] Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line

[00:00:39] Running o'er the C and O road

[00:00:43] Just 20 minutes behind

[00:00:47] Running into Seville headquarters on the line

[00:00:54] Receiving their strict orders

[00:00:57] From a station just behind

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

[00:01:05] With a bucket on her arm

[00:01:09] Saying my darling son

[00:01:12] Be careful how you run

[00:01:16] For many a man has lost his life

[00:01:20] In trying to make lost time

[00:01:24] And if you run your engine right

[00:01:28] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:33] Up the road she darted

[00:01:36] Against the rocks she crashed

[00:01:40] Upside down the engine turned

[00:01:44] And Georgie's breast it smashed

[00:01:48] His head was against the firebox door

[00:01:52] The flames were rolling high

[00:01:56] I'm glad I was born for an engineer

[00:02:00] To die on the C and O road

[00:02:05] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:08] My darling boy be still

[00:02:12] Your life may yet be saved

[00:02:15] If it is God's blessed will

[00:02:19] Oh no said Georgie that will not do

[00:02:23] I want to die so free

[00:02:27] I want to die for the engine I love

[00:02:31] One hundred and 43

[00:02:36] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:39] Your life can not be saved

[00:02:43] Murdered upon a railroad

[00:02:46] And laid in a lonesome grave

[00:02:50] His face was covered up with blood

[00:02:54] His eyes you could not see

[00:02:57] And the very last words poor Georgie said

[00:03:02] Was nearer my God to thee
