Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail
Blessed savior, thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore
(repeat last verse)
Patsy Cline, born Virginia Patterson Hensley (1932-1963), was one of the most influential country singers in American history. Born in Virginia, Patsy began her musical career in the 1950s, singing in local venues and radio stations. Her powerful and versatile vocal talent allowed her to captivate audiences with a blend of traditional country, pop, and emotionally charged ballads. Her breakthrough came in 1961 with the single "Crazy", written by Willie Nelson, which became a country music classic and established her as one of the brightest stars in American music. Other hits include "I Fall to Pieces", "Walkin' After Midnight" and "She's Got You". Her career was tragically cut short in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of only 30.
