(歌手独白) [00:00:11]

[00:00:18]

On a cold and rainy night I was sitting in the light [00:00:24]

Oh my switchman shack of mine post on the mountain [00:00:29]

The storms were pretty bad and the telephone was dead [00:00:34]

But it was just eleven hours till the dawn [00:00:38]

Then much to my surprice the telegraph jumped in the light [00:00:43]

As I read the code I thought could this be true [00:00:47]

The train was on its way headed up to mountain grade [00:00:53]

But she didn't have no engineer or crew [00:00:57]

At the other switch they tried to put her on the mountain side [00:01:02]

But she kept on coming up the mountain grade [00:01:06]

But I quickly dowse the light to try to see into the night [00:01:11]

Maybe I could spot her headlight in the rain [00:01:16]

She was pounding down below I could hear her whistle blow [00:01:21]

And I thought Lord that's a high and mournful sound [00:01:25]

Then the telegraph again there's a caving in the mine [00:01:30]

And the hundred men have burried neath the ground [00:01:35]

Lord she's coming now I see her round the bend and straight at me [00:01:45]

And her ballet is glowing red as coal in hell [00:01:50]

The headlinght switching wide searching all the mountain side [00:01:55]

But the only sound she's making it's a wail [00:01:59]

Then I recognized the train by the number and the name [00:02:04]

It's from miners silver ghost O fifty-one [00:02:09]

Then she vanished up the track by the lonely swutchman shack [00:02:14]

Like a mother who was looking for her son [00:02:18]

Now I heard the story how an engine went to glory [00:02:24]

Over fifty years ago in the same line [00:02:29]

It was steaming for the caving there were men needed saving [00:02:33]

But it missed the curve in trestle near the mine [00:02:38]

And every now and then you'll hear a whistle on the wind [00:02:43]

It's from mountail slides where many men're lost [00:02:48]

It's a high and lonely wail and searching up and down the mountain [00:02:53]

It's the train they call the miners silver ghost [00:02:58]

The train they call the miners silver ghost [00:03:03]

The train they call the miners silver ghost [00:03:08]
