I was built in 1855
As sturdy as could be

I was strong and heavyweight
For whoever needed me

I could move people
I could move supplies 
I could move most anything in GOD’S eyes

It was not for me to decide 
What they used me for was right or wrong

It was only for me
To be very strong

I worked hard all day and night
Never a moment of fright

I did the best I could 
All day and all night

One day I got tired
New Engines had come along

I retired without a regret 
Still with a happy song

My whistle I still hear 
In echos of days gone by

Remembering the hardships 
without even a cry

I’m resting now
In the Southern Museum of Civil war
And Locomotive History

For all to see
And remember me

The moment of Mystery 
When I made History
