The 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 |
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 arose a prayer |
Thank God the light was green |
