the kossoy sisters with erik darling - engine 143 lyrics
along came the f15
the swiftest on the line
running o’er the c and o road
just twenty minutes behind
running into ceville
head porters on the line
receiving very strict orders
from the 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
a-trying to make lost time
and if you run your engine right
you’ll get there just on time”
up the road she darted
and against the rocks she crashed
upside down the engine turned
and georgie’s breast it smashed
his head was against the firebox door
the flames were rolling high
i’m glad i was born for an engineer
to die on c and o road
the doctor said to georgie
“my darling boy be still
your life may end this day
if it is not against his 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 him in lonesome grave
his face was covered up with blood
his eyes you could not see
and the very last words that georgie said was
“near my god to thee”
