Engine 143 - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
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
See the old road to die

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
