[00:01.35] | Engine One-Forty-Three |
[00:03.33] | The Carter Family |
[00:31.47] | |
[00:31.48] | Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line |
[00:39.82] | Running o'er the C & O road just 20 minutes behind |
[00:47.80] | Running into Seville headquarters on the line |
[00:54.66] | Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind |
[01:01.48] | |
[01:02.49] | Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm |
[01:10.29] | Saying, my darling son, be careful how you run |
[01:17.17] | For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time |
[01:25.15] | And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time |
[01:34.42] | |
[01:34.43] | Up the road she darted, against the rocks she crashed |
[01:41.59] | Upside-down the engine turned, and Georgie's breast it smashed |
[01:49.44] | His head was against the firebox door, the flames were rolling high |
[01:57.44] | I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C & O road “ |
[02:06.31] | |
[02:06.32] | The doctor said to Georgie, my darling boy, be still |
[02:13.30] | Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will |
[02:20.51] | Oh, no, said Georgie, that will not do, I want to die so free |
[02:28.74] | I want to die for the engine I love, one hundred and forty-three |
[02:37.54] | |
[02:37.55] | The doctor said to Georgie, your life cannot be saved |
[02:45.05] | Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave |
[02:51.77] | His face was covered up with blood, his eyes you could not see |
[02:59.92] | And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer, my God, to Thee |
