The Engineer's Child
Recorded by Hank Snow [3/4 time]
written by Harry Neal, Maggie Andrews, H.A. King

G                   C       G
A little child on a sickbed lay
    C              G
And death was very near
                      C    G
She was the pride and only child
     A7            D7
Of a railroad engineer

G            D7              G
His duty had called him from those he loved
    D7                   G
And seeing that hope was dim
                G7          C
While a tear he shed to his wife he said
     G        D7       G
Just have two lanterns trimmed

C                      G
Just hang a light as I pass tonight
                        D7
Hang it where it can be seen
       G                C
If our baby's dead just show the red
         G           D7       G
If she's better then show the green

                         C        G
In a little house by the railroad track
C                    G
A mother with watchful eyes
                          C      G
Saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile
       A7                 D7
As the train went rushing by

     G         D7           G
Just one short look was his only chance
   D7            G
To see the light agleam
                G7          C
In the midnight air there a rose a prayer
      G       D7        G
Thank God the light was green
