Engine 143 - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line[00:00:16]

Running o'er the CO road just twenty minutes behind[00:00:27]

Running into Seville head quarters on the line[00:00:36]

Receiving very strict orders from a station just behind[00:00:44]

Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm[00:00:55]

Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:04]

For many a man has lost his life[00:01:12]

In trying to make lost time[00:01:17]

But if you run your engine right[00:01:21]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:26]

Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed[00:01:33]

Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash[00:01:40]

His head was against the firebox door[00:01:49]

The flames were rolling high[00:01:54]

I'm glad I's born for an engineer[00:01:58]

To die on sea old road[00:02:03]

The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still[00:02:10]

Your life may yet be saved if it is[00:02:18]

God's blessed will[00:02:22]

Oh no cried George that will not do[00:02:26]

I'd want to die so free[00:02:31]

I want to die for the engine[00:02:35]

I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:37]

The doctor said to Georgie your life[00:02:44]

May not be saved[00:02:49]

Murdered upon a railroad and laid[00:02:52]

In a lonesome grave[00:02:57]

His face was covered up in blood[00:03:00]

And his eyes they could not see[00:03:05]

And the very last words poor[00:03:09]

Georgie said was nearer my God to thee[00:03:11]
