Engine 143 - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line[00:00:34]

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

Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line[00:00:51]

Receiving there strict orders from a station just behind[00:00:58]

Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm[00:01:08]

Saying my darling son be careful how you run[00:01:16]

For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time[00:01:24]

But if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time[00:01:32]

Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed[00:01:43]

Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast was smashed[00:01:50]

His head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling high[00:01:59]

I'm glad to be born for an engineer on the C&O road to die[00:02:07]

The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy lie still[00:02:18]

Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will[00:02:25]

Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free[00:02:33]

I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty three[00:02:42]

The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved[00:02:52]

Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave[00:03:00]

His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see[00:03:07]

And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee[00:03:16]
