The Wreck Of The Old Number Nine

F Dm Was a cold winters night not a star was in sight Fm C And the North wind came howling down the line F Near his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer F Beyond them stood poor old Number Nine. Dm Well she kissed him goodbye, tears in her eye C But the joy in his heart he could not hide F Dm For his whole world was right when she told him that night Fm That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride. C F Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along C Black smoke came pouring down the stack F And the headlights a-gleam seemed so bright in his dream F For tomorrow that he'd be comin' back. F Oh he sped around the hill, his brave heart stood still C For the headlights were shining in his face F And he whispered a prayer as he threw on the air F For he knew this would be his final race. F In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground C He asked them to raise his weary head F As his breath slowly went this message he sent F To the maiden who thought she would be wed. C "There's a little white home that I bought for our own C I dreamed we'd be happy, by and by F But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true F When we meet at the Golden Gate, goodbye."...
