Well, along come the FFV the swiftest on the line Running long the C&O road 20 min behind Running in the Subhill Headquaters on the line Receivin' their strict orders from a station just behind Well, Georgie's mother come to him with a bucket on her arm Saying my darlin' boy be careful how you run Well, it's many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time But if you run your engine right you'll make it just on time Aw, but off of the road she darted and into the rocks she crashed Well the engine she laid upside down and Georgie's breast was smashed Well his head lay against the firebox door and the flames were rolling high Well I'm proud to be born for an engineer on the C&O road to die Well, the doctor come to Georgie my darlin' boy be still Well, your life can yet be saved if it is god's bless it will Oh, no, no, it will not do, I wanna fly so free Well I wanna die with the engine I love a hundred forty three Then the doctor said to Georgie well you're life cannot be saved Murdered out on the railroad, laid in a lonesome grave But his face was all covered up with blood, his eyes they could not see And the very last words that G spoke were near my god to thee
