Carter Family - Engine 143




(verse 1)
 A                        D             A
Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line 
                                 E
Running o�er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind 
 A                         D            A  
Running into Cevile head porters on the line 
                                       E            A
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind 


(verse 2)
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 

(verse 3)
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 


(verse 4)
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 


(verse 5)
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
