[00:00.00]The Mystery of Number Five - Jimmie Rodgers
[00:19.00]I stepped out this morning To watch my drivers roll
[00:26.78]To hear my whistle blowing While the fireman slings the coal;
[00:35.08]When I got to the switchyard I heard a brakeman say
[00:43.14]Oh what a mystery Your engine's cold today "
[01:05.25]Up stepped a little maiden With a teardrop in her eye
[01:13.50]She began Oh Mister Man Do you pull old Number Five
[01:22.54]My daddy was your fireman And he often spoke of you
[01:30.56]Of being so kindharted So honest so brave so true
[01:55.02]He was found dead this morning On trestle number five
[02:03.53]On his way to prepare the morning train for you
[02:11.57]The story explaining the mystery By a little maiden was told
[02:19.98]I was the first time in history I found my engine cold
[02:28.03]So you railroad men take warning And play this game fair
[02:36.04]So when the Master calls on us We'll meet my fireman up there
