A# D# A#
Along come the FFV the swiftest on the line

Running down the C&O road just twenty minutes behind

Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line
A# F A#
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
[Verse]
A# D# A#
Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
A# C7 F
Saying my darling boy be careful how you run
A# D# A#
Cause many a man done lost his life trying to make lost time
A# F A#
And if you run your engine right you'll make her just on time
[Verse]
A# D# A#
Off the road, she darted into the rocks she crashed
A# C7 F
The engine she lay upside down and Georgie's breast was smashed
A# D# A#
His head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling high

[Verse]
A# D# A#
The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved
A# C7 F
Murdered out on a railroad laid in a lonesome grave
A# D# A#
His face was covered up with blood his eyes you know could not see
A# F A#
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
A# F A#
I want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty-three
