Tonalité : C major
Verse 1
C
One bright, sunshiny morning
F
C
in the merry month of May
To an East Kentucky coal mine
G
came a young man one day
C
His face was gay and smiling,
F
C
had winning coal blue eyes
His soul is now resting
G
C
in that home beyond the sky
This young man, was a motorman,
F
but he won't be anymore
C
His life was crushed out
by the wheels
G
of the mainline number four
C
He pulled out of the side track
F
C
with a train of forty -two
He had five miles to haul them,
G
C
and soon he would be through
The switchman at the telephone
F
C
rang the trapper at the door
Saying line up all your switches
G
for this mainline number four
C
And the trapper took his orders
F
G
C
and he cleared the mainline rail
And then his train flew past him
G
C
with the speed of U .S. mail
He was going down the mountain,
well -known as Dead Man's Hill,
when a rock he saw up on the track
G
made his brave heart stand still,
C
was direct in the roadway,
G
F
C
just 30 feet ahead,
and when at first he saw it,
G
C
he knew he'd soon be dead.
The motor jammed against it
F
C
at 40 miles an hour
And all was plunged in darkness
G
when the headlights lost their power
C
The brakeman on the rear
-end car
F
knew something had occurred
C
He started for his partner
G
C
with the swiftness of a bird
Say, old pal, where are you?
F
C
I cannot see your light
And the brakeman scanned the wreckage
G
With his heart -string growing tight
C
Till a groan grew his attention
G
C
to a pile of broken wood
His buddy lay there on his back
G
C
and the motor on him stood
What can I do to help you, pal?
F
G
There's no useful talk
C
There was a rock up on the track
G
I saw it and couldn't stop
C
Tell mother that I love her
F
C
And kiss her for me, Joe
I'm going on to heaven
G
C
I'm sure she'll want to know
I see my savior waiting
F
C
To take me to his breast
Goodbye old pal, good luck to you,
G
C
I'm going home to rest.
