Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
On a cold winter night Not a star was in sight An' the north wind came Howlin' down the line With his sweetheart, so dear Stood a brave engineer With his orders to pull ole number nine She kissed him goodbye With tears in his eyes An' a joy in her heart She couldn't hide For the whole world was bright When she told him that night Tomorrow she'd be his blushin' bride As the wheels hummed the song As the train rolled along An' the black smoke come pourin' from the stack As the headlight a gleam Seemed to brighten' his dream For tomorrow he'd be comin' back He speed up the hill But his brave head was still For the headlight was shining in his face He whispered a prayer As he threw on the air For he knew it would be his final race In the wreck he was found Lying there on the ground An' he ask them to raise his weary head As his breath slowla went This message he sent To the maiden who thought that they'd be wed Have a little white home That I bought for our own Where I'd dreamed we'd be happy, bye an' bye But I leave it to you For I know you'll be true Till we meet at the Golden Gate, goodbye
