The Wreck of the Number Nine
One dark stormy night not a star was in sight
- One dark stormy night not a star was in sight
- The north wind came howling down the line
- There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear
- And his orders to pull old number nine
- She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye
- The joy in his heart he couldn't hide
- The whole world seemed right for she told him that night
- That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride
- The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
- The black smoke came pouring from the stack
- The headlight a-gleam seemed to brighten his dream
- Of tomorrow when he'd be goin' back
- He sped around the hill and his brave heart stood still
- The headlight was shining in his face
- He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air
- For he knew this would be his final race
- In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground
- He asked them to raise his weary head
- His breath slowly went as this message he sent
- To a maiden who thought she would be wed
- There's a little white home that I built for our own
- Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I
- But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true
- Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
