Engine 143 - The Carter Family (卡特家族)/Preston Young[00:00:00]

Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:31]

Running o'er the C&O road[00:00:39]

Just twenty minutes behind[00:00:43]

Running into Cevile head porters on the line[00:00:47]

Receiving their strict orders[00:00:54]

From a station just behind[00:00:57]

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

With a bucket on her arm[00:01:05]

Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:09]

For many a man has lost his life[00:01:16]

In trying to make lost time[00:01:20]

And if you run your engine right[00:01:24]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:28]

Up the road he darted against[00:01:33]

The rocks he crushed[00:01:37]

Upside down the engine turned[00:01:40]

And Georgie's breast did smash[00:01:44]

His head was against the firebox[00:01:48]

Door the flames are rolling high[00:01:51]

I'm glad I was born for an[00:01:56]

Engineer to die on the C&O road[00:01:58]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:05]

My darling boy be still[00:02:08]

Your life may yet be saved[00:02:12]

If it is God's blessed will[00:02:15]

Oh no said George that will[00:02:19]

Not do I want to die so free[00:02:21]

I want to die for the engine[00:02:27]

I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:30]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:36]

Your life cannot be saved[00:02:39]

Murdered upon a railroad[00:02:43]

And laid in a lonesome grave[00:02:46]

His face was covered up with blood[00:02:49]

His eyes they could not see[00:02:54]

And the very last words poor Georgie[00:02:57]

Said was nearer my God to thee[00:03:00]
