The Newmarket Wreck - Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Baker/E.K. Brewer/M. Mooney[00:00:00]

The southern railway had a wreck at ten o'clock one morn[00:00:02]

Near hodges and newmarket grounds the place and date adorn[00:00:09]

On the twenty fourth of september the year nineteen and four[00:00:16]

Was when that awful wreck occurred to both the rich and poor[00:00:24]

The trains were going east and west and speeding on their way[00:00:32]

They ran together on a curve and what a wreck that day[00:00:39]

The cars were busted and torn and split[00:00:46]

And spread across the track[00:00:49]

You see a picture of the wreck just over on the back[00:00:53]

Conductor on the west bound train had made a bad mistake[00:01:01]

He never read his orders right and caused that awful fate[00:01:08]

He hurt one hundred and a half and there were seventy dead[00:01:15]

I hope he has forgiveness now and lives without a dread[00:01:22]

The engineer on the east bound train had kissed his darling wife[00:01:30]

Before he got on board his train then he had to give his life[00:01:37]

I trust that he was pure in heart and now is with the blest[00:01:44]

And that his wife will meet him there and be with him at rest[00:01:51]

They found a note the man had wrote and this is what it said[00:02:00]

Please take me home and bury me that filled them all with dread[00:02:07]

Found his body cold in death and then they sent him home[00:02:14]

And buried him with long gone friends with whom he used to roam[00:02:21]

And oh the men and women's moans did echo through the air[00:02:29]

Such cries was never heard before from humans in despair[00:02:36]

The little children cried aloud for mercy to their god[00:02:43]

But now they all are dead and gone and under earthly sod[00:02:50]
