the unfortunate brakeman - kentucky ramblers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
see the true and faithful brakeman
as he fell between the cars
not one moment’s warning had he
’til and all pray god he was hurt

[verse 2]
he’s a brave young engineerman
at the age of twenty one
as he fell down from his engine
crying: “well, what have i done?”

[verse 3]
“have i k!lled my faithful brakeman?
could it be that he will die?
oh, i did my best to save him
but i could not stop in time”

[verse 4]
see, the car with br-ssy o’er him
or it’s mangled by his head
see his sister bendin’ o’er him
crying: “brother are you dead?”

[verse 5]
“dying sister, yes i’m dying
going to join some better sh-r-s
tell my buddy on the g.t
that i’ll never see no more”

[verse 6]
“sister when you see my brother
these few words i’ll say unto him
tell him never to venture braking
if he does his life will end”

[verse 7]
hereto these few words were spoken
’til he clasped his hands onto his breast
and the spirit all had left him
and his soul had gone to rest
