《Engine 143》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:48] Twenty minutes behind

[00:00:51] Running into Cevile head

[00:00:56] Porters on the line

[00:00:59] Receiving their strict

[00:01:01] Orders from a station just behind

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

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

[00:01:17] Saying my darling son

[00:01:21] 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

[00:01:38] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:44] Up the road he darted 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

[00:02:08] I'm glad I was born for an engineer

[00:02:13] See the old road to die

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

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

[00:02:26] Your life may yet be saved

[00:02:30] If it is God's blessed will

[00:02:34] Oh no said George that will

[00:02:36] Not do 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

[00:02:53] The doctor said to Georgie your life

[00:02:58] Cannot be saved

[00:03:01] Murdered upon a railroad

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

[00:03:08] His face was covered up with

[00:03:11] Blood his eyes they could not see

[00:03:17] And the very last words poor Georgie

[00:03:20] Said was nearer my God to thee
