| Engine 143 | |
| 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 | |
| Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm | |
| Saying my darling son be careful how you run | |
| For many a man has lost his life in trying to make lost time | |
| And if you run your engine right you'll get there just on time | |
| Up the road he darted against the rocks he crushed | |
| Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash | |
| His head was against the firebox door the flames are rolling high | |
| I'm glad I was born for an engineer to die on the C&O road | |
| The doctor said to Georgie my darling boy be still | |
| Your life may yet be saved if it is God's blessed will | |
| 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 they could not see | |
| And the very last words poor Georgie said was nearer my God to thee |
