Ben Dewberry’s Final Run Jimmie Rodgers

[Verse 1]
Ben Dewberry was a brave engineer
He told his fireman don't you ever fear
All I want is the water and coal
Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll

[Refrain]
Watch the drivers roll, watch the drivers roll
Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll

[Verse 2]
Ben Dewberry said before he died
Two more roads that he wanted to ride
His fireman asked him what could they be
Said the old Northeastern and the A and B

[Refrain]
The A and B, he said the A and B
It's the old Northeastern and the A and B

[Verse 3]
On the fatal morning it began to rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Ben Dewberry was the engineer
With the throttle wide open and without any fear
