One dark stormy night not a star was in sight The north wind came howlin' down the line There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear His orders to pull old No 9 She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye But the joy in his heart he couldn't hide The whole world seemed bright for she told him that night That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along The black smoke came a pouring from the stack The headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back He sped 'round the hill and his brave heart stood still Headlight was shining in his face He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air For he knew this would be his final race [ guitar ] In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground He asked them to raise his weary head His breath slowly went at this message he sent To the maiden who thought she would be wed There's a little white home that I built for our own Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true Till we meet at the golden gate goodbyeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
