Engine One-Forty-Three - Original - The Carter Family
Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line

Running o'er the C and O road
Just 20 minutes behind

Running into Seville headquarters 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 she darted 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 the C and 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 Georgie 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 you could not see

And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer
My God to Thee
