Joan Baez - Engine 143 слова песни
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
