Engine 143 - Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line
Running o'er the CO road just twenty minutes behind
Running into Seville head quarters 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
In trying to make lost time
But if you run your engine right
You'll get there just on time
Up the road he darted against the rocks he crashed
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's born for an engineer
To die on sea old 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 cried George that will not do
I'd 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
May not be saved
Murdered upon a railroad and laid
In a lonesome grave
His face was covered up in blood
And his eyes they could not see
And the very last words poor
Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
