Intro
D#7 G#
[Verse 1]
G# G#7 C# A#m
She just left the point at Chiekany
D# D#7 G#
The freight number twelve-sixty-two
D#7 G# G#7 C# A#m
And on down the mountain she travelled
D# D#7 G#
So brave were the men in her crew
[Verse 2]
G# G#7 C# A#m
Then the engineer pulled at the whistle
D# D#7 G#
For the brakes wouldn't work when app-lied
G# G#7 C# A#m
And the brakeman climbed out on the car top
D# D#7 G#
For he knew what that whistle had cried
[Instrumental]
G# G#7 C# A#m
D# D#7 G#
G# G#7 C# A#m
D# D#7 G#
[Verse 3]
G# G#7 C# A#m
With all of the strength that God gave him
D# D#7 G#
He tied in those brakes with a prayer
D#7 G# G#7 C# A#m
But the train went right on down that mountain
D# D#7 G#
Her whistle still piercing the air
[Verse 4]
G# G#7 C# A#m
She travelled at sixty an hour
D# D#7 G#
Gaining speed every foot of the way
G# G#7 C# A#m
And then with a crash it was over
D# D#7 G#
And there on the track the freight lay
[Instrumental]
G# G#7 C# A#m
D# D#7 G#
G# G#7 C# A#m
D# D#7 G#
[Verse 5]
G# G#7 C# A#m
It's not the amount of the damage
D# D#7 G#
Or the value of what the wreck cost
G# G#7 C# A#m
It's the sad scene they found in the cabin
D# D#7 G#
Where the lives of two brave men were lost
[Verse 6]
G# G#7 C# A#m
They found them at their post in the wreckage
D# D#7 G#
Where they died when the engine had fell
D#7 G# G#7 C# A#m
The engineer still held the whistle
D# D#7 G#
And the fireman still clung to the bell
[Verse 7]
G# G#7 C# A#m
Now this story is told of a freight train,
D# D#7 G#
But it should be a warning to all;
D#7 G# G#7 C# A#m
We need to be prepared ev'ry moment,
D# D#7 G#
For we can never tell when He'll call.
