Fate of Chris Lively and Wife

歌詞

Listen friends, I will tell you a story It is one that is sad to relate At a crossing not far from Pax Junction There Chris Lively and wife met their fate REFRAIN: What a 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 This sad fate of Chris Lively and wife They were driving along gay and happy Never thought they would be robbed of life REFRAIN: What a 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 They were killed at a place near Pax Junction They are gone to come back never more 'Twas an eastbound train that killed them Lives were crushed out by train number four REFRAIN: What a 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 Now good people, I hope you take warning As you journey along through this life Every time when you see "Railroad Crossing" Just remember Chris Lively and wife REFRAIN: What a 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
