What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight
2
And the north wind came howling down the line
3
With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer
4
With his orders to pull old No 9
5
She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye
6
But the joy in his heart he could not hide
7
Oh the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night
8
That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride
9
Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
10
And the black smoke came pouring from the stack
11
And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream
12
Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back
13
He steered around the hill and his brave heart stood still
14
For a headlight was shining in his face
15
And he whispered a prayer as he drew on the air
16
For he knew this would be his final grace
17
[ piano ]
18
In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground
19
And he asked them to raise his weary head
20
As his breath slowly went this the message he sent
21
To the maiden who thought she would be wed
22
There's a little white home that I built for our own
23
Where I dreamed we'd be happy by and by
24
But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true
25
Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
