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 |
