Lyrics Wreck of the Number Nine - Jim Reeves
One
dark
stormy
night
not
a
star
was
in
sight
The
North
wind
came
howling
down
the
line
There
stood
a
brave
engineer
with
his
sweetheart
so
dear
And
his
orders
to
pull
old
Number
Nine.
She
kissed
him
goodbye
with
a
tear
in
her
eye
The
joy
in
his
heart
he
couldn′t
hide
The
whole
world
seemed
right
for
she
told
him
that
night
That
tomorrow
she'd
be
his
blushing
bride.
The
wheels
hummed
a
song
as
the
train
rolled
along
The
black
smoke
came
pouring
from
the
stack
The
headlight
a-gleam
seemed
to
brighten
his
dream
Of
tomorrow
when
he′d
be
goin'
back.
He
sped
around
the
hill
and
his
brave
heart
stood
still
The
headlight
was
shining
in
his
face
He
whispered
a
prayer
as
he
threw
on
the
air
For
he
knew
this
would
be
his
final
race.
In
the
wreck
he
was
found
lying
there
on
the
ground
He
asked
them
to
raise
his
weary
head
His
breath
slowly
went
as
this
message
he
sent
To
a
maiden
who
thought
she
would
be
wed.
"There's
a
little
white
home
that
I
built
for
our
own
Where
I
dreamed
we′d
be
happy,
you
and
I
But
I
leave
it
to
you
for
I
know
you′ll
be
true
Til
we
meet
at
the
Golden
Gate,
goodbye.".
