          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."
