Generate meaning
1
One dark stormy night not a star was in sight
2
The north wind came howlin' down the line
3
There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear
4
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 couldn't hide
7
The whole world seemed bright for she told him that night
8
That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride
9
The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
10
The black smoke came a pouring from the stack
11
The headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream
12
Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back
13
He sped 'round the hill and his brave heart stood still
14
Headlight was shining in his face
15
He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air
16
For he knew this would be his final race
17
[ guitar ]
18
In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground
19
He asked them to raise his weary head
20
His breath slowly went at this 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 you and I
24
But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true
25
Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
