Вступление
[Intro]
A D A E
A D A E A
[Verse 1]
D A
Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line
E
Running o’er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind
A D A
Running into Cevile head porters on the line
E A
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
[Verse 2]
D A
Georgie’s mother came to him with a bucket on her arm
E
Saying my darling son be careful how you run
A D A
For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time
E A
And if you run your engine right you’ll get there just on time
[Verse 3]
D A
Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed
E
Upside down the engine turned and Georgie’s breast did smash
A D A
His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high
E A
I’m glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C&O road
[Verse 4]
D A
The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still
E
Your life may yet be saved if it is God’s blessed will
A D A
Oh no said George that will not do I want to die so free
E A
I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three
[Verse 5]
D A
The doctor said to Georgie your life cannot be saved
E
Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave
A D A
His face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not see
E A
And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee
[Outro]
A D A E A
