Chris Lively and Wife

Listen friends, I will tell you a story,
It's one that is sad to relate.
At a crossing not far from Park's Junction
There Chris Lively and wife met their fate.

It is sad to relate how it happened,
The sad fate of Chris Lively and wife.
They were driving along being happy,
Never thought they would be robbed of lif.

Chorus:
For the 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 will come back.

They were killed at a place near Park's Junction,
They are gone to come back never more.
It was an eastbound train that killed them.
Lives was crushed out by train #4.

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.
