More comic than satiric is the song entitled "Bishop Zack, the Mormon Engineer," the engineer on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad who had a wife in every town. It is, no doubt, an imitation of the famous "Casey Jones."
Zack Black came to Utah back in Eighty Three, A right good Mormon and a Bishop, too, was he, He ran a locomotive on the "D'n' R. G.," And Zack was awful popular as you will see.
Chorus Hear him whistle! He ran a locomotive on the "D'n' R. G."
Zack he had a wife in every town, He numbered them from twelve 'way down to number two, Oh, in his locomotive he’d go steaming ‘round, And when he'd pass each wifie’s home his whistle blew.
Zack he always said he loved ’em all the same, But wifie number twelve he loved her mighty well, He had her picture mounted in his engine cab, And when he passed her home he'd always ring the bell.
Listen ev’rybody, ‘cause this story’s true, Zack had a wife in ev'ry town his train passed through. They tried to shift Zack over to the old "U. P.," But Zack demurred, ’cause he preferred the "D'n' R. G."
I find it interesting that the name is always spelled Zack rather than Zach. I've only ever met a handful of Zachs whose name is spelled with a K.
