Engine One-Forty-Three - The Carter Family[00:00:00]

Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line[00:00:31]

Running o'er the C & O road[00:00:39]

Just 20 minutes behind[00:00:43]

Running into Seville headquarters on the line[00:00:47]

Receiving their strict orders[00:00:54]

From a station just behind[00:00:57]

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

With a bucket on her arm[00:01:05]

Saying my darling son[00:01:09]

Be careful how you run[00:01:12]

For many a man has lost his life[00:01:16]

In trying to make lost time[00:01:20]

And if you run your engine right[00:01:24]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:28]

Up the road she darted[00:01:33]

Against the rocks she crashed[00:01:37]

Upside-down the engine turned[00:01:40]

And Georgie's breast it smashed[00:01:45]

His head was against the firebox door[00:01:48]

The flames were rolling high[00:01:52]

I'm glad I was born for an engineer[00:01:56]

To die on the C & O road[00:02:00]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:05]

My darling boy be still[00:02:08]

Your life may yet be saved[00:02:12]

If it is God's blessed will[00:02:15]

Oh no said Georgie that will not do[00:02:19]

I want to die so free[00:02:23]

I want to die for the engine I love[00:02:27]

One hundred and forty-three[00:02:31]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:36]

Your life cannot be saved[00:02:39]

Murdered upon a railroad[00:02:43]

And laid in a lonesome grave[00:02:46]

His face was covered up with blood[00:02:50]

His eyes you could not see[00:02:54]

And the very last words poor Georgie said[00:02:58]

Was nearer my God to Thee[00:03:02]
