letra de the wreck of the old number 9 - carroll free
[verse 1]
on a cold winter night, not a star was in sight
and the north wind came howling down the line
with his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer
holding orders to pull old number 9
he kissed her goodbye with a tear in his eye
and the sorrow in his heart, he could not hide
but the whole world looked bright as she told him that night
that tomorrow she’d be his blushing bride
[instrumental break]
[verse 2]
while the train rolled along, its mighty wheels hummed a song
and the black smoke came rolling from the stack
its headlights agleam seemed to brighten his dream
of tomorrow when he’d be coming back
well, his brave heart stood still as he thundered ’round the hill
‘fore a headlight was shining in his face
and he whispered a prayer as he jammed on the air
‘fore he knew that this was his final race
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
in the wreck he was found, lying there on the ground
and he asked them to raise his weary head
as his breath slowly went was his message he sent
to the maiden he thought that he would wed
there’s a little white home that i built for our own
and i hoped we’d be happy, you and i
but i’ll leave it to you, for i know you’ll be true
’til we meet at those golden gates, goodbye
