Engine 143 - Joan Baez[00:00:02]

Along came the f-15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:34]

Running over the c and o road just twenty minutes behind[00:00:43]

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

Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind[00:00:59]

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

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

There's many a man has lost his life by trying to make lost time[00:01:24]

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

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

Upside down the engine turned and georgie's breast did smash[00:01:50]

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

I'm proud to be born to be an engineer[00:02:07]

On the c and o road to die[00:02:12]

The doctor said to georgie my darling son be still[00:02:18]

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

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

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

And the doctor said to georgie your life cannot be saved[00:02:52]

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

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

And the very last words poor georgie cry was nearer my god to thee[00:03:16]
