ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
A little child on a sickbed lay
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And death was very near
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He was the pride and the only child
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Of a railroad engineer
ch]D[/ch
His duty had called him from those he loved
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And seeing that hope was dim
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
While a tear he shed to his wife, he said
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just have two lanterns trimmed"
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just hang a light when I pass tonight
ch]A[/ch
Hang it where it can be seen
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
If the baby's dead then show the red
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
If he's better then show the green

In a little shack by the railroad track
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
A mother with watchful eyes
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Saw a gleam of hope in a tender smile
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
As the train went rushing by
ch]D[/ch
Just one short look was his only chance?
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
To see the light a gleam
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
In the midnight air, there rose a prayer
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Thank God the light was green
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just hang a light when I pass tonight
ch]A[/ch
Hang it where it can be seen
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
If the baby's dead then show the red
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
If he's better then show the green
