The Wreck of the Number Nine - Jimmy Reeves[00:00:00]

Written by：Carson J. Robinson[00:00:02]

One dark stormy night not a star was in sight[00:00:05]

The north wind came howling down the line[00:00:10]

There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear[00:00:14]

And his orders to pull old number nine[00:00:19]

She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye[00:00:24]

The joy in his heart he couldn't hide[00:00:29]

The whole world seemed right for she told him that night[00:00:34]

That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride[00:00:39]

The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along[00:00:44]

The black smoke came pouring from the stack[00:00:49]

The headlight a gleam seemed to brighten his dream[00:00:54]

Of tomorrow when he'd be goin' back[00:00:59]

He sped around the hill and his brave heart stood still[00:01:04]

The headlight was shining in his face[00:01:09]

He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air[00:01:14]

For he knew this would be his final race[00:01:18]

In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground[00:01:33]

He asked them to raise his weary head[00:01:39]

His breath slowly went as this message he sent[00:01:44]

To a maiden who thought she would be wed[00:01:48]

There's a little white home that I built for our own[00:01:53]

Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I[00:01:58]

But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true[00:02:03]

Til we meet at the Golden Gate goodbye[00:02:08]
