Subject: Lyr Add: FATE OF CHRIS LIVELY AND WIFE (A Reed)
a net pal sent me a recording of another old time song of tragedy that I do not ever recall hearing...
& cannot make out where wreck occurred (***) junction
Fate Of Chris Lively And Wife
Listen friends I will tell you a story It is one that is sad to relate At a crossing not far from (***) junction There Chris Lively and wife met their fate
Chorus Oh the mistake he made at the crossing When he drove the wagon on the railroad track They were killed, engine crushed horse and wagon Oh how sad to know they never can come back
It is sad when we think how it happened The sad fate of Chris Lively and wife They were driving along gay and happy Never thought they would be robbed of life
Chorus
They were killed at a place near (***) junction They are gone to come back never more Was an east bound train that killed them Lives were crushed out by train no. 4
Chorus
Now good people I hope you take warning As you journey along thru this life Every time when you see railroad crossings Just remember Chris Lively and wife
