The Engineers Child chords

[G]A little child on a [C]sickbed [G]lay
And [C]death was very [G]near
She was the pride and [C]only [G]child of a [A7]railroad engin- [D]eer
His duty had called him from [G]those he loved
And [D]seeing that hope was [G]dim
While a tear he [G7]shed, to his [C]wife he said
Just have two [D]lanterns [G]trimmed

[CHORUS]
[C]Just hang a light as I [G]pass tonight
[C]Hang it where it [G]can be [D]seen
If our [G]baby's dead just [C]show the red
If she's [G]better then [D]show the [G]green

[G]In a little house by the [C]railroad [G]track
A [C]mother with watchful [G]eye
Saw a [G]gleam of hope and a [C]feeble [G]smile
As the [A7]train went rushing [D]by
Just one short look was his [G]only chance
To [D]see the light [G]agleam
In the midnight [G7]air there a- [C]rose a prayer
Thank [G]God the [D]light was [G]green

[CHORUS]
[C]Just hang a light as I [G]pass tonight
[C]Hang it where it [G]can be [D]seen
If our [G]baby's dead just [C]show the red
If she's [G]better then [D]show the [G]green
