The Great Nashville Railroad Disaster (A True Story) - David Allan Coe[00:00:00]

One sultry summer morning in the year of 1918[00:00:06]

Three hundred men with ebony skin[00:00:12]

Pulled out of union station[00:00:15]

Heading out of nashville for western tennessee[00:00:19]

Homeward bound cause uncle sam closed down[00:00:25]

The munitions factory [00:00:27]

At that very moment on the cheatham county line[00:00:35]

Old number one train from memphis[00:00:41]

Was running way behind[00:00:43]

Back in the smokey club car a memphis gambling man[00:00:47]

Said gentleman i'm folding these cards[00:00:52]

Cause i drew a dead mans hand [00:00:55]

A young man in a milk truck out near dutchman's grade[00:01:03]

Said oh my god two trains one track[00:01:08]

Then he closed his eyes and he prayed[00:01:11]

A sister from the orphans home made a cross upon her chest[00:01:16]

Cause a one iron beast was coming from the east[00:01:21]

And another one was coming from the west[00:01:25]

The bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground[00:01:29]

The screaming wheels and the grinding steel[00:01:35]

Could be heard for miles around[00:01:37]

The bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground[00:01:42]

The screaming wheels and the grinding steel[00:01:47]

Could be heard for miles around[00:01:50]

Now every july 9th a few miles west of town[00:01:58]

To this day some folks say[00:02:11]

You can hear that mournful sound[00:02:15]
