Engine 143 - The Carter Family
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
