	On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight						On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight
	And the north wind came howling down the line						And the north wind came howling down the line
	With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer						With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer
	With his orders to pull old No 9						With his orders to pull old No 9
	She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye						She kissed him goodbye with a tear in her eye
	But the joy in his heart he could not hide						But the joy in his heart he could not hide
	Oh the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night						Oh the whole world seemed bright when she told him that night
	That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride						That tomorrow she'd be his blushing bride

	Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along						Oh the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along
	And the black smoke came pouring from the stack						And the black smoke came pouring from the stack
	And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream						And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream
	Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back						Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back
	He steered around the hill and his brave heart stood still						He steered around the hill and his brave heart stood still
	For a headlight was shining in his face						For a headlight was shining in his face
	And he whispered a prayer as he drew on the air						And he whispered a prayer as he drew on the air
1	or he knew this would be his final grace						For he knew this would be his final grace	1

	In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground						In the wreck he was found lying there on the ground
	And he asked them to raise his weary head						And he asked them to raise his weary head
	As his breath slowly went this the message he sent						As his breath slowly went this the message he sent
	To the maiden who thought she would be wed						To the maiden who thought she would be wed
	There's a little white home that I built for our own						There's a little white home that I built for our own
	Where I dreamed we'd be happy by and by						Where I dreamed we'd be happy by and by
	But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true						But I leave it to you for I know you'll be true
	Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye						Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye
