Thread Name: Railroad Song Buffs--Check Here Please
Subject: RE: RAILROAD SONG BUFFS--Check Here Please
There was one my dad used to get a lot of requests for many years ago about a child playin on the railroad tracks and the fireeman (I guess he was also a cowboy) took a lariat and crawled out on the runnin board and roped a switch (or somethin) and dallied to the stack and derailed the train. The engineer and fireman both were killed in the wreck but 'THEY SAVED THAT DARLIN CHILD!!!'

Don't remember the name of the song, but I wish I did. I guess I forgot it.
