The Wreck of the No.9 - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]
One dark stormy night not a[00:00:05]
Star was in sight[00:00:08]
The North wind came howling[00:00:10]
Down the line[00:00:12]
There stood a brave engineer[00:00:14]
With his sweetheart so dear[00:00:17]
And his orders to pull old[00:00:19]
Number Nine [00:00:22]
She kissed him goodbye[00:00:24]
With a tear in her eye[00:00:27]
The joy in his heart he[00:00:30]
Couldn't hide[00:00:32]
The whole world seemed[00:00:34]
Right for she told him that night[00:00:36]
That tomorrow she'd be[00:00:41]
His blushing bride [00:00:43]
The wheels hummed a song[00:00:44]
As the train rolled along[00:00:47]
The black smoke came[00:00:49]
Pouring from the stack[00:00:51]
The headlight a-gleam[00:00:54]
Seemed to brighten his dream[00:00:56]
Of tomorrow when he'd[00:00:59]
Be goin' back [00:01:01]
He sped around the hill and[00:01:04]
His brave heart stood still[00:01:07]
The headlight was shining in his face[00:01:09]
He whispered a prayer as[00:01:14]
He threw on the air[00:01:16]
For he knew this would be[00:01:18]
His final race [00:01:21]
In the wreck he was found[00:01:33]
Lying there on the ground[00:01:36]
He asked them to raise his[00:01:39]
Weary head[00:01:41]
His breath slowly went as[00:01:44]
This message he sent[00:01:46]
To a maiden who thought[00:01:48]
She would be wed [00:01:51]
"There's a little white home[00:01:53]
That I built for our own[00:01:56]
Where I dreamed we'd[00:01:58]
Be happy you and I[00:02:00]
But I leave it to you for[00:02:03]
I know you'll be true[00:02:06]
Til we meet at the Golden[00:02:08]
Gate goodbye "[00:02:11]
