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
