Jim Blake's Message - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]

"Jim Blake your wife is dying"[00:00:04]

Went over the wires tonight[00:00:08]

The message was brought to the depot[00:00:11]

By a lad all trembling with fright[00:00:15]

He entered the office crying[00:00:19]

His face was terribly white[00:00:23]

And this message to dad and his engine[00:00:27]

"Mother is dying tonight"[00:00:31]

In something less than an hour[00:00:43]

Jim's answer back to me flew[00:00:47]

"Tell wife I'll be there at midnight[00:00:51]

I'm praying for her too"[00:00:55]

"I left my son in the office"[00:00:59]

Said the message to Jim's wife[00:01:03]

I found the dying woman[00:01:07]

Was scarce of breath and life[00:01:11]

For hill and dale and valley[00:01:23]

Thunders a heavy train[00:01:27]

Its engineer is sobbing and throbbing[00:01:31]

And under a terrible strain[00:01:35]

But Jim hangs on to his throttle[00:01:39]

Guiding her crazy flight[00:01:43]

And his voice cries out in the darkness[00:01:47]

"God speed the express tonight"[00:01:51]

I telephoned the doctor[00:02:03]

"How is Jim's wife" I asked[00:02:07]

"About the hour of midnight[00:02:11]

Is long as she can last"[00:02:15]

In something less than an hour[00:02:19]

The train will be along[00:02:23]

But here I have a message[00:02:26]

Oh God there is something wrong[00:02:31]

The message reads "Disaster"[00:02:43]

The train is in the ditch[00:02:47]

The engineer is dying[00:02:51]

Derailed by an open switch[00:02:54]

And there's another message[00:02:58]

To Jim's wife it is addressed[00:03:02]

"I'll meet her at midnight in heaven[00:03:06]

Don't wait for the fast express"[00:03:10]
