Letra de Reckless Motorman

Yonder stands the reckless motorman Who says his age is twenty one Standing by his mainline motor Saying folks what have I done Is it true I've killed my brakemen Is it true that he is dying Oh I tried to stop my motor But I could not stop in time See the cars stacked up on him See him raise his weary head See his sister standing by him Crying brother are you dead Sister sister I am dying Soon I'll be on yonder shore Soon I'll have a home in heaven There'll be no braking anymore Go and tell my youngest brother Take these words true and end ? To never start the day a braking For his life is sure to end Go tell my father who is weighman What he weighs to weigh it fair There'll be no scales up in heaven For that meeting in the air
