letra de engineer's child - hank snow
a little child on a sickbed lay
and death was very near
she was the pride and only child
of a railroad engineer.
his duty had called him from those he loved
and seeing that hope was dim
while a tear he she’d to his wife he said
just have two lanterns trimmed.
just hang a light as i p-ss tonight
hang it where it can be seen
if our baby’s dead just show the red
if she’s better then show the green.
— instrumental —
in a little house by the railroad track
a mother with watchful eyes
saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile
as the train went rushing by.
just one short look was his only chance
to see the light agleam
in the midnight air there arose a prayer
thank god they shown green.
just hang a light as i p-ss tonight
hang it where it can be seen
if our baby’s dead just show the red
if she’s better then show the green…
