KMIDI KARAOKE FILE

On a cold winter night not a star was in sight
And the north wind kept howling down the line,
With a sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer,
With his orders to pull old Number Nine.

He kissed her goodbye with a tear in her eye,
For the joy in his heart he could not hide,
And the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night,
On tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride.

As the train rolled along and the wheels hummed a song,
And the black smoke came pourin' from the stack,
His headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream,
Of tomorrow, he'd be coming back.
Round the corner of the hill, that his brave heart stood still,
And the headlight was shining in his face.
He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air,
For he knew that would be his final race.

In the wreck he was found laying there on the ground,
And he asked them to raise his weary head;
And his breath slowly went 'twas a message he sent,
To a maiden who thought that she'd be wed.
"There's a little white home that I bought for our own,
Where I knew we'd be happy by and by,
Oh, I('ll) leave it to you for I know you'll be true,
Till we meet at the Golden Gates, goodbye."
