The Wreck Of The Number Nine
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Written by Carson Robison

G C
One dark stormy night not a star was in sight
G D7
The north wind came howlin' down the line
G C
There stood a brave engineer with his sweetheart so dear
G D7 G
And his orders to pull old Number Nine

D7 G
She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye
C G D7
But the joy in his heart he couldn't hide
G C
The whole world seemed bright for she told him that night
G D7 G
That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride

C
The wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
G D7
The black smoke came pouring from the stack
G C
The headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream
G D7 G
Of tomorrow when he'd be going back

D7 G
He sped around the hill and his brave heart stood still
C G D7
Headlight was shinin' in his face
G C
He whispered a prayer as he threw on the air
G D7 G
For he knew this would be his final race

C
In the wreck he was found lyin' there on the ground
G D7
He asked them to raise his weary head
G C
His breath slowly went as this message he sent
G D7 G
To the maiden who thought she would be wed

D7 G
There's a little white home that I built for our own
C G D7
Where I dreamed we'd be happy you and I
G C
But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true
G D7 G
Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
