The Wreck Of The Number Nine - Vernon Dalhart[00:00:00]

The Wreck Of The Number Nine - Vernon Dalhart[00:00:02]

On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight[00:00:41]

And the north wind came howling down the line[00:00:45]

With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer[00:00:50]

With his orders to pull old No 9[00:00:55]

She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye[00:01:00]

But the joy in his heart he could not hide[00:01:05]

Oh the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night[00:01:10]

That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride[00:01:15]

Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along[00:01:58]

And the black smoke came pouring from the stack[00:02:03]

And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream[00:02:08]

Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back[00:02:13]

He steered around the hill and his brave heart stood still[00:02:17]

For a headlight was shining in his face[00:02:22]

And he whispered a prayer as he drew on the air[00:02:27]

For he knew this would be his final grace[00:02:32]

In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground[00:03:15]

And he asked them to raise his weary head[00:03:19]

As his breath slowly went this the message he sent[00:03:24]

To the maiden who thought she would be wed[00:03:29]

There's a little white home that I built for our own[00:03:34]

Where I dreamed we'd be happy by and by[00:03:39]

But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true[00:03:44]

Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye[00:03:48]
