Doc Watson - The Wreck Of The 1262 歌词

She just left the point at Kittanning
The train number 1262
And on down the mountain she travelled
So brave with her men in her crew

And the engineer pulled at the whistle
For the brakes didn't work when applied
And the brakeman climbed out on the car top
For he knew what that whistle have cried

With all of the strength that God gave him
He tightened those brakes with a prayer
But the train went right on down that mountain
Her whistle still piercing the air

She travelled that sixty an hour
Gaining speed every foot of the way
And than with a crash it was over
And there on the track the freight lay

Now it's not the amount of the damage
Or the value of what that rail cost
It's the sad scene they found in the cabin
Where the life of two brave men was lost

They found them at their post in the wreckage
Where they died when the engine had fell
The engineer still held the whistle
And the fireman still hung to the bell

Here the story is told of the freight train
But it should be a warning for all
We need to be prepared every moment
For we can never tell when he calls
