Engine 143 - Irene And Ellen Kossoy/Erik Darling
Written by:RR/A.P. Carter
Along came the F F V the swiftest on the line
Running o'er the C and O road
Just twenty minutes behind
Running into Seville
Head quarter on the line
Receiving very 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
By trying to make lost time
And if you run your engine right
You'll get there just on time
Up the road she darted
And against the rocks she crushed
Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's
Breast did smash
His head was against the firebox door
The flames were rolling high
I'm glad I was born for an engineer
To die and see the road
The doctor said to Georgie
My darling boy be still
Your life may and the stay
If it is not again stays 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 can not 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 that Georgie said
Was nearer my God to thee
