The maiden and her lover, the husband and the wife, The merry prattling children so full of joyous life. With hand upon the lever and eye upon the track The engineer is standing while the shades of night grow black To see the smouldering timbers that lay along the ridge, Oh God, in pity save them! It is the railway bridge. A mighty crash of timbers, a sound of hissing steam; The groans and cries of anguish, a woman's stifled scream. The dead and dying mingled with the broken beams and bars; An awful human carnage, a dreadful wreck of cars. AlI honor to the brave ones who flame and fire fought AII through that night of horror, a glory dearly bought Over land and o'er the water this thrilling message crossed The bridge was burned at Chatsworth, a hundred lives were lost But oh, how much of sorrow, and oh, how much of pain Awaited those who journeyed on that fatal railway train. From Folk Songs Out of Wisconsin, Peters Collected from F. A. Fair, Grand Forks, ND, 1923 Note: The wreck occurred in 1881 in Chatworth, Illinois/ The train was headed for Niagara Falls. @train @wreck filename[ CHATWRCK play.exe CHATWRCK RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Children Go Where I Send Thee, Children Of Darkness, Chile Native Anthem Text, Chilly Scenes Of Winter, Chilly Winds, China Anthem Text, Chinee Bumboatman, Chinese Truck, Chivalrous Shark, Christ Child Lullaby, Christ Was A Traveler, Christmas Goose, Christmas In The Trenches, Cielito Lindo, Cigarettes Whiskey And Wild Wild Women, Cinco Duros, Cindy, Circle Game, Circumstances Alter Cases, City Of Baltimore, City Of New Orleans, Clares Dragoons, Clear Away In The Morning, Clear Away The Morning Dew, Clear The Track, Clementine, Clerk Colvill, Clerk Saunders, Cloakmakers Union, Cluck Old Hen, Coachmans Whip, Coal And Albert Berry, Coal Barons Song, Coal Black Rose, Coal Tattoo, Coal Town Road, Cocaine Lil, Cockels And Mussels, Cod Liver Ile, Cold Haily Rainy Night, Cold Winter Shadow, Colin And Phoebe, Collier Laddie, Colombia Native Anthem Text, Colorado Trail, Come All Ye Southern Soldiers, Come All You Coal Miners, Come All You Garners Gay, Come And Dine, Come And Join The Air Force, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
