Engine 143 - The Carter Family (卡特家族)/D.R[00:00:00]

Along came the f15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:30]

Running o'er the c&o road just twenty minutes behind[00:00:38]

Running into cevile head porters on the line[00:00:47]

Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind[00:00:53]

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

Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:09]

For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time[00:01:16]

And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time[00:01:24]

Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed[00:01:33]

Upside down the engine turned and georgie's breast did smash[00:01:40]

His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high[00:01:47]

I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the c&o road[00:01:55]

The doctor said to georgie my darling boy be still[00:02:04]

Your life may yet be saved if it is god's blessed will[00:02:11]

Oh no said george that will not do I want to die so free[00:02:18]

I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:27]

The doctor said to georgie your life cannot be saved[00:02:35]

Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave[00:02:42]

His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see[00:02:49]

And the very last words poor georgie said was nearer my god to thee[00:02:57]
