With his sweet heart so dear
When he's ordered to pull on number nine
But the joy in his heart he could not hide
While the whole world seemed bright
when she told him that night
That tomorrow she'd be the
Or the wheel came to song,
as the train rolled a -long
came pouring from the stack
With his headlight a gleam,
seemed to brighten his dreams
Of tomorrow and he'd be going back
and his brave heart stood still
For a headlight was shining in his face
And he whispered a prayer
For he knew this would be his
lying there on the ground,
And he asked them to raise his very head.
As he pressed low he went,
To the maid that he thought
There's a little white home
that I bought for our own,
And I'll leave it to you,
for I know you'll be true,
Till we meet at the golden gate goodbye.
But the joy in his heart he could not hide.
For the whole world seemed bright
when she told him that night
That tomorrow she'd be a loving bride.
