Ben Dewberrys Final Run Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE 1]
[G]Ben Dewberry was a brave engineer
He told his fireman don't you e[D]ver f[G]ear
A[G]ll I want is the water and coal
Put your head out the window, watch the dr[D]ivers r[G]oll
Watch the drivers r[C]oll watch the drivers r[G]oll
Stick your head out the window, watch the dr[D]ivers r[G]oll

[VERSE 2]
B[G]en Dewberry said before he died
Two more roads that he wan[D]ted to r[G]ide
His fi[G]reman asked him what could they be
Said the old Northeastern and the [D]A and [G]B
He said the A and [C]B he said the A and [G]B
It's the old Northeastern and the [D]A and [G]B

[VERSE 3]
On the e[G]arly morning it began to rain
Around the curve come a pass[D]enger tr[G]ain
B[G]en Dewberry was a brave engineer
With the throttle wide open and wit[D]hout any f[G]ear
He didn't have no f[C]ear he didn't have no f[G]ear
Had her runnin' wide open with[D]out any [G]fear

[VERSE 4]
Then [G]Ben, he turned and he shook his head
He said We may make Atlanta but we'll a[D]ll be d[G]ead
The t[G]rain was a-flyin' by a troublesome switch
Without any warning then she t[D]ook the di[G]tch
Yes, she took the di[C]tch well, she took the d[G]itch
Without any warning then she t[D]ook the di[G]tch

[VERSE 5]
Well, the b[G]ig locomotive and the twisted rail
Ben never lived to tell that a[D]wful t[G]ale
His l[G]ife was ended and his work was done
When Ben Dewberry made his f[D]inal r[G]un
He made his final r[C]un he made his final r[G]un
When Ben Dewberry made his f[D]inal r[G]un
