I am trying to find some lyrics to a song that Grandpa Jones recorded called "Billy Richardson's Last Ride". It is about a seventy-some year old engineer who vowed that he would die no where else but in his engine cab. And he does, when his head hits a mail crane. The event took place about forty-five minutes from my house. I remember some of the first verse if it helps:

Through the West Virginia Mountains came the early morning mail, Old No. 3 was westbound, the swiftest on the rail; She pulled right in at Hinton headquarters on the line, With a Baldwin Mountain engine she'd made the run on time.

I appreciate any help that I can get. John J.
