Intro
C# G# C#
[Verse]
C# F# C#
Along come the FFV the swiftest on the line
C# D#7 G#
Running down the C&O road just twenty minutes behind
C# F# C#
Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line
C# G# C#
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
[Verse]
C# F# C#
Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
C# D#7 G#
Saying my darling boy be careful how you run
C# F# C#
Cause many a man done lost his life trying to make lost time
C# G# C#
And if you run your engine right you'll make her just on time
[Verse]
C# F# C#
Off the road, she darted into the rocks she crashed
C# D#7 G#
The engine she lay upside down and Georgie's breast was smashed
C# F# C#
His head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling high
C# G# C#
I'm proud to be born for an engineer on the C&O road to die
[Verse]
C# F# C#
Well the doctor come to Georgie my darling boy lie still
C# D#7 G#
Your life can yet be saved if it is God's blessed will
C# F# C#
Oh no oh no it will not do I want to die so free
C# G# C#
I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty-three
[Verse]
C# F# C#
The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved
C# D#7 G#
Murdered out on a railroad laid in a lonesome grave
C# F# C#
His face was covered up with blood his eyes you know could not see
C# G# C#
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
C# G# C#
I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty-three
