Joan Baez - Engine 143 Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Engine 143
  • Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line
  • Running o'er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind
  • Running into Cevile head porters on the line
  • Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
  • Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
  • Saying my darling son be careful how you run
  • For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time
  • And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time
  • Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed
  • Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash
  • His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high
  • I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C&O road
  • The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still
  • Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will
  • Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free
  • I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three
  • The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved
  • Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave
  • His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see
  • And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
