The Wreck of the Old Number 9 歌詞
The Wreck of the Old Number 9 - Jim Reeves (吉姆·裡夫斯)
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
Til we meet at the Golden
Gate goodbye "
