Along came the F-15 the swiftest on the line   Running over the C and O road just twenty minutes behind   Running into Sou'ville headquarters on the line   Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind      Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm   Saying, ?My darling son, be careful how you run   Many a man has lost his life by trying to make lost time   But if you run your engine right, you'll get there just on time?      Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed   Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash   His head was against the firebox door the flames were rolling high   I'm glad I was born to be an engineer on the C and O road to die      The doctor said to Georgie, ?My darling son be still   Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will?   ?Oh no?, said George, ?That will not do I want to die so free   I want to die for the engine I love one hundred and forty three?      The doctor said to Georgie, ?Your life cannot be saved?   Murdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome grave   His face was covered up with blood his eyes you could not see   The very last words poor Georgie said was, ?Nearer my God to thee?
