Cash, Johnny - Engine 143 Lyrics
Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line
Running o'er the C&O road just twenty minutes behind
Running into Cevile head porters on the line
Receiving their strict orders from a station just behind
Saying my darling son be careful how you run
Many a man has lost his life by trying to make lost time
And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time
Up the road she darted against the rocks she 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&O road to die
The doctor said to Georgie my darling son be still
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
And the very last words that Georgie said was nearer my God to thee

Top Song, top Video
did he ever see his Spanish kids again after he married June -- he was a great man
Yes, of course he saw his american kids again. His first wife Vivian was from Italian decent, but born in the U.S. That makes her an american.
Absolutely he did..if you’re actually interested in his life & that of his family, and not just trying to politicize the man, you should read his autobiography, I forget what it’s called...but again if you’re actually interested in the man, his life & his music, you should look into it!
Not to many can do it like him
his last recording
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78LkAo4L2gI
He did a recording of this week's before his death
No this is from the 60’s sorry
Vietnam Yeah yeah this one is from 1964
This version is undoubtedly NOT his last recording, not by a long shot.
Though I’m sure he did record it again in his old age, as he did with many of his older songs
sounds like the same tune as Knoxville Girl
