The Engineer`s Dying Child - Johnny Cash
A little child on a sickbed lay,

And death was very near.

He was the pride and the only child of a railroad engineer.

His duty had called him from those he loved,
And seeing that hope was dim.

While a tear he shed to his wife he said,
Just have two lanterns trimmed."

Just hang a light when I pass tonight.

Hang it where it can be seen.

If the baby's dead then show the red.
If he's better then show the green.

In a little shack,
By the railroad track,
A mother with watchful eyes.

Saw a gleam of hope in a tender smile,

As the train went rushing by,

Just one short look,
Was his only chance?

To see the light a gleam.

In the midnight air their rose a prayer.
Thank god the light was green

Just hang a light when I pass tonight.

Hang it where it can be seen.

If the baby's dead then show the red.

If he's better then show the green.
