Engine 143 - Kossoy Sisters/Erik Darling[00:00:00]
Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:11]
Running over the C and O road just[00:00:22]
Twenty minutes behind[00:00:28]
Running into Cevile head porters on the line[00:00:33]
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind[00:00:42]
Georgie's mother came to him[00:00:52]
With a bucket on her arm[00:00:57]
Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:02]
For many a man has lost his life[00:01:11]
By trying to make lost time[00:01:17]
And if you run your engine right[00:01:22]
You'll get there just on time[00:01:28]
Up the road she darted against the rocks she crushed[00:01:33]
Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's[00:01:42]
Breast did smash[00:01:49]
His head was against the firebox door[00:01:52]
The flames were rolling high[00:01:58]
I'm glad I was born for engineer[00:02:02]
To the C and O road[00:02:08]
The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still[00:02:53]
Your life may yet be saved[00:03:02]
If it is god's blessed will[00:03:07]
Oh no said George that will not do[00:03:11]
I want to die so free[00:03:17]
I want to die for the engine[00:03:22]
I love one hundred and forty three[00:03:25]
The doctor said to Georgie your life can not be saved[00:03:32]
Murdered upon a railroad and laid[00:03:41]
In a lonesome grave[00:03:47]
His face was covered up with blood[00:03:50]
His eyes you could not see[00:03:56]
And the very last words that Georgie[00:04:00]
Said was nearer my god to thee[00:04:04]
