Along came the ffv the swiftest on the lineRunning o'er the c&o road just twenty minutes behindRunning into sou'ville headquarters on the lineReceiving there strict orders from a station just behindGeorgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her armSaying my darling son be careful how you runFor many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost timeAnd if you run your engine right you'll get there just on timeUp the road he darted against the rocks he crashedUpside down the engine turned and georgie's breast was smashedHis head lay against the firebox door the flames were rolling highI'm glad to be born for an engineer on the c&o road to dieThe doctor said to georgie my darling boy lie stillYour life may yet be saved if it is god's blessed willOh no said george that will not do I want to die so freeI want to die with the engine I love one hundred and forty threeThe doctor said to georgie your life cannot be savedMurdered upon a railroad and laid in a lonesome graveHis face was covered up with blood his eyes they could not seeAnd the very last words poor georgie said was nearer my god to thee
