| [Verse 1] | |
| Along came the FFV the swiftest on the line | |
| Running o'er the C&O 'road just twenty minutes behind | |
| Running into Seville Headquarters on the line | |
| Receiving very strict orders from a station just behind | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| Georgie's mother came to him with a bucket on her arm | |
| Sing 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 | |
| [Verse 3] | |
| Up the track she darted, against the rocks she crashed | |
| Upside down the engine turned and Georgie's breast did smash | |
| His head was against the firebox door, the flames were rolling high | |
| I'm glad I's born for an engineer to die on the C&O 'road | |
| [Verse 4] | |
| The doctor said to Georgie "My darling boy be still | |
| Your life may yet be saved if it's God's blessed will" | |
| "Oh no" said George, "that will not do, I want to die so free | |
| I want to die for an engine I love, one hundred and forty three" | |
| [Verse 5] | |
| 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" |
