The Engineer's Child - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
A little child on a sickbed lay[00:00:07]
And death was very near[00:00:13]
She was the pride and[00:00:20]
Only child of a railroad engineer[00:00:24]
His duty had called him from those[00:00:33]
He loved and seeing that hope was dim[00:00:38]
While a tear he shed to his wife[00:00:46]
He said just have two lanterns trimmed[00:00:51]
Just hang a light as I pass tonight hang it[00:01:00]
Where it can be seen[00:01:07]
If our baby's dead just show the red if[00:01:12]
She's better then show the green[00:01:19]
In a little house by the railroad track[00:01:39]
A mother with watchful eye[00:01:45]
Saw a gleam of hope[00:01:52]
And a feeble smile as the train went rushing by[00:01:55]
Just one short look was his only[00:02:05]
Chance to see the light agleam[00:02:10]
In the midnight air there arose a prayer[00:02:18]
Thank God the light was green[00:02:25]
Just hang a light[00:02:32]
As I pass tonight hang it[00:02:35]
Where it can be seen[00:02:39]
If our baby's dead just show the red[00:02:44]
If she's better then show the green[00:02:51]
