Child of the Engineer - Brook Benton (布鲁克·本顿)[00:00:00]
A little child on a sickbed lay [00:00:11]
And death was very near [00:00:22]
The parents' pride and the only child[00:00:31]
Of a railroad engineer [00:00:38]
His duty called him from those he loved [00:00:49]
And the house whose light was dimmed [00:00:57]
Ah the tears he shed to his Wife he said [00:01:06]
I will have two lanterns trimmed [00:01:15]
Just hang a light by my window tonight [00:01:25]
And hang it where it can be seen[00:01:33]
If our baby's dead just hang the red[00:01:43]
If she's better then hang the green[00:01:53]
In a little house by the railroad side [00:02:05]
A mother with watchful eye[00:02:14]
Saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile[00:02:23]
As the train went rushing by[00:02:32]
Just one short look was his only chance[00:02:43]
To see the light agleam[00:02:52]
In the midnight there arose a pray'r[00:03:01]
Thank My God light was green[00:03:12]
