Artist/Band: Jimmie Rodgers
Lyrics for Song: Ben Dewberry's Final Run
Lyrics for Album: Blue Yodel: Recorded Legacy [2001]



Ben Dewberry was a brave engineer

He told his fireman don't you ever fear

All I want is the water and coal

Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll

Watch the drivers roll watch the drivers roll

Put your head out the window, watch the drivers

Roll



Ben Dewberry said before he died

Two more roads that he wanted to ride

His fireman asked him what could they be

Said the old Northeastern and the A and B

The A and B he said the A and B

It's the old Northeastern and the A and B



On the fatal morning it began to rain

Around the curve come a passenger train

Ben Dewberry was the engineer



With the throttle wide open and without any fear

He didn't have no fear he didn't have no fear

He had her runnin' wide open without any fear



Ben looked at his watch shook his head

We may make Atlanta but we'll all be dead

The train was flyin' by the troublin' switch

Without any warning then she took the ditch

Yea! she went in the ditch well, she took the ditch

Without any warning then she took the ditch



The big locomotive leaped from the rail

Ben never lived to tell that awful tale

His life was ended and his work was done

When Ben Dewberry made his final run

He made his final run he made his final run

When Ben Dewberry made his final run
