Engine 143 - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]

Along came the F-15 the swiftest[00:00:35]

On the line[00:00:41]

Running over the C and O road[00:00:44]

Just twenty minutes behind[00:00:48]

Running into Sou'ville headquarters[00:00:52]

On the line[00:00:57]

Receiving their strict orders[00:01:00]

From a station just behind[00:01:04]

Georgie's mother came to him[00:01:09]

With a bucket on her arm[00:01:14]

She saying My darling son [00:01:18]

Be careful how you run[00:01:21]

Many a man has lost his life[00:01:25]

By trying to make lost time[00:01:30]

But if you run your engine right [00:01:34]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:39]

Up the road she darted against[00:01:45]

To the rocks she crushed[00:01:49]

Upside down the engine turned[00:01:52]

And Georgie's breast did smash[00:01:56]

His head was against the firebox door[00:02:00]

The flames were rolling high[00:02:05]

I'm glad I was born to be an engineer[00:02:09]

On the C and O road to die[00:02:14]

The doctor said to Georgie [00:02:20]

My darling boy be still[00:02:23]

Your life may yet be saved[00:02:27]

If it is God's blessed will[00:02:31]

Oh no said George [00:02:35]

That will not do I want to die so free[00:02:37]

I want to die for the engine[00:02:44]

I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:47]

The doctor said to Georgie [00:02:55]

Your life cannot be saved[00:02:58]

Murdered upon a railroad[00:03:02]

And laid in a lonesome grave[00:03:06]

His face was covered up[00:03:10]

With blood his eyes you could not see[00:03:13]

The very last words poor Georgie cry was [00:03:18]

Nearer my God to thee[00:03:23]
