Engine 143 - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:34]

Running o'er the C&O road[00:00:43]

Just twenty minutes behind[00:00:48]

Running into Cevile head porters on the line[00:00:51]

Receiving their strict orders[00:00:59]

From a station just behind[00:01:03]

Georgie's mother came to him[00:01:08]

With a bucket on her arm[00:01:13]

Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:17]

For many a man has lost his life[00:01:24]

In trying to make lost time[00:01:29]

And if you run your engine right[00:01:33]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:37]

Up the road he darted[00:01:43]

Against the rocks he crushed[00:01:47]

Upside down the engine turned[00:01:51]

And Georgie's breast did smash[00:01:55]

His head was against the firebox door[00:01:59]

The flames are rolling high[00:02:04]

I'm glad I was born for[00:02:07]

An engineer on the C&O road to die[00:02:10]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:18]

My darling boy be still[00:02:22]

Your life may yet be saved[00:02:25]

If it is God's blessed will[00:02:29]

Oh no said George that will not do[00:02:33]

I want to die so free[00:02:38]

I want to die for the engine[00:02:42]

I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:45]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:52]

Your life cannot be saved[00:02:56]

Murdered upon a railway[00:03:00]

And laid in a lonesome grave[00:03:04]

His face was covered up[00:03:07]

With blood his eyes they could not see[00:03:10]

And the very last words[00:03:16]

Poor Georgie cry when nearer my God to thee[00:03:18]
