On a cold _ winter's night, not [F#] a star was in sight, and a north wind came howling down [G#] the line. _ _
_ With [C#] his sweetheart so [G#m] dear, [F#] stood a brave engineer, _ with his orders [G#] to pull old number [C#] nine. _ _
She _ _ _ [G#] kissed him goodbye, _ [C#] with a tear in her eye, and [F#] the joy in [C#] his heart he could [G#] not hide.
_ _ _ For [C#] the whole world was bright, as she [F#] told him that night, that [C#] tomorrow _ [G#] she'd be his blushing [C#] bride.
_ _ _ _ Oh, the _ wheels hummed the song, [F#] as the train rolled along, and [C#] the black smoke came pouring from the [G#] stag.
_ _ _ _ And [C#] the headlight _ gleam seemed [F#] to brighten his dream, [C#] of tomorrow [G#] when he'd be coming [C#] back. _ _ _ _ _
[G#] He sped round the hill, and [C#] his brave heart stood _ still, [F#] a _ headlight was shining in his [G#] _ _ _ face. _
[C#] And he _ _ whispered a prayer, as he [F#] threw on the air, [C#] cause he knew _ [G#] this would be his final [C#] _ _ race. _ _
In the wreck he [G#m] was found, lying [F#] _ there on the ground, [C#] and he asked them to raise his weary [G#] _ _ head. _ _
[C#] As his breath slowly went, _ [F#] this message he sent, [C#] to the maiden [G#] he knew he could [C#] not wed. _ _ _ _ _
[G#] There's a little white home, that I've [C#] bought for our own, [F#]
and I dream we'd [C#] be happy by [G#] and by.
_ _ _ But [C#] I'll leave it to you, for I know you'll be true, till we meet at [G#] those golden gates goodbye.
