The Wreck of the Number Nine - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]
One dark stormy night not a star was in sight[00:00:05]
The north wind came howling down the line[00:00:09]
There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear[00:00:13]
And his orders to pull old number nine[00:00:19]
She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye[00:00:24]
The joy in his heart he couldn't hide[00:00:29]
The whole world seemed right for she told him that night[00:00:34]
That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride[00:00:38]
The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along[00:00:43]
The black smoke came pouring from the stack[00:00:48]
The headlight a-gleam seemed to brighten his dream[00:00:53]
Of tomorrow when he'd be goin' back[00:00:58]
He sped around the hill and his brave heart stood still[00:01:03]
The headlight was shining in his face[00:01:08]
He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air[00:01:13]
For he knew this would be his final race[00:01:18]
In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground[00:01:32]
He asked them to raise his weary head[00:01:38]
His breath slowly went as this message he sent[00:01:43]
To a maiden who thought she would be wed[00:01:47]
There's a little white home that I built for our own[00:01:52]
Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I[00:01:57]
But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true[00:02:02]
Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye[00:02:07]
