        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.
            A                                                                 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."
        A                                             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."
                  A                                                     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."
                  A                                                       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,
        and the very last words poor Georgie said,
                      E                                   A
        was, “Nearer, my God, to Thee."
