[Ab]
One dark stormy night, [Db] not a star was in sight,
[Ab] The north wind came howling [Eb] down the line.
[Gm] There [Ab] stood a brave engineer, [Db] with his sweet heart so dear,
[Ab] And his order [Eb] to pull old [Ab] number nine.
[Eb] She kissed him goodbye with [Ab] a tear in her eye,
[Db] The joy in [Ab] his heart he [Eb] couldn't hide.
[Ab] The whole world seemed bright, for [Db] she told him that night,
That [Ab] tomorrow [Eb] should be his blushing [Ab] bride.
The wheels hummed a song, as [Db] the train rolled along,
[Ab] The black smoke came pouring from [Eb] the stack.
[Ab] The headlight, a gleam, seemed [Db] to brighten his dream,
Of [Ab] tomorrow, [Eb] when he'd be going [Ab] back.
[Eb] He sped round the hill, and [Ab] his brave heart stood still,
[Db] The headlight [Ab] was shining in [Eb] his face.
[Ab] He whispered a prayer, as [Db] he threw on the air,
For [Ab] he knew this [Eb] would be his [Ab] final race.
[Db]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab]
In the wrecked, loose, bound [Db] line, there on the ground,
[Ab] He asked them to raise his [Eb] weary head.
[Cm] [Ab] His breath slowly went, as [Db] this message he'd sent,
[Ab] To a maiden [Eb] who thought she [Ab] would be wed.
[Eb] There's a little while, [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] but I'll leave it to you,
[Db] For I know you'll be true, [Ab] till we meet at [Eb] the golden [Ab] gate.
