Ben Dewberry’s Final Run |
Ben Dewberry was a brave engineer |
He told his fireman don’t you ever fear |
All I want is the water and coal |
Stick your head out the window watch the drivers roll |
Watch the drivers roll watch the drivers roll |
Stick your head out the window watch the drivers roll |
Ben Dewberry said before he died |
Two more roads that he wanted to ride |
His fireman asked him what could they be |
Said the old Northeastern and the A and B |
Said the A and B it’s the A and B |
Said the old Northeastern it’s the A and B |
On the fatal morning it began to rain |
Around the curve come a passenger train |
Ben Dewberry was the engineer |
With the throttle wide open and without any fear |
He didn’t have no fear he didn’t have no fear |
He had her running wide open without any fear |
Ben looked at his watch shook his head |
We may make Atlanta but we’ll all be dead |
The train was flying by the troubling switch |
Without any warning then she took the ditch |
Yeah she went in the ditch well she took the ditch |
Without any warning then she took the ditch |
Well the big locomotive leaped from the rail |
Ben never lived to tell that awful tale |
His life was ended and his work was done |
When Ben Dewberry made his final run |
He made his final run he made his final run |
When Ben Dewberry made his final run |
