Engineer's Child
A little child on a sickbed lay And death was very near She was the pride And only child of a railroad engineer
His duty had called him from those he loved And seeing that hope was dim While a tear he shed to his wife he said Just have two lanterns trimmed
Just hang a light as I pass tonight Hang it where it can be seen If our baby's dead just show the red If she's better then show the green
In a little house by the railroad track Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A mother with watchful eye Saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile As the train went rushing by
Just one short look was his only chance To see the light agleam In the midnight air there a rose a prayer Thank God the light was green
Just hang a light as I pass tonight Hang it where it can be seen If our baby's dead just show the red If she's better then show the green
