Engine 143 - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]

Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line[00:00:35]

Running o'er the C&O road just[00:00:43]

Twenty minutes behind[00:00:49]

Running into Cevile head[00:00:51]

Porters on the line[00:00:56]

Receiving their strict[00:00:59]

Orders from a station just behind[00:01:01]

Georgie's mother came to him[00:01:09]

With a bucket on her arm[00:01:13]

Saying my darling son[00:01:17]

Be careful how you run[00:01:21]

For many a man has lost his life[00:01:24]

In trying to make lost time[00:01:29]

And if you run your engine right[00:01:33]

You'll get there just on time[00:01:38]

Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed[00:01:44]

Upside down the engine turned[00:01:51]

And Georgie's breast did smash[00:01:55]

His head was against the firebox door[00:01:59]

The flames are rolling high[00:02:04]

I'm glad I was born for an engineer[00:02:08]

See the old road to die[00:02:13]

The doctor said to Georgie[00:02:18]

My darling boy be still[00:02:22]

Your life may yet be saved[00:02:26]

If it is God's blessed will[00:02:30]

Oh no said George that will[00:02:34]

Not do I want to die so free[00:02:37]

I want to die for the engine[00:02:43]

I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:46]

The doctor said to Georgie your life[00:02:53]

Cannot be saved[00:02:58]

Murdered upon a railroad[00:03:01]

And laid in a lonesome grave[00:03:04]

His face was covered up with[00:03:08]

Blood his eyes they could not see[00:03:11]

And the very last words poor Georgie[00:03:17]

Said was nearer my God to thee[00:03:20]
