What was known as a day marvel
A great railroad crossed over sea
It defied all the whitecaps and the coral bed
And the whole world to the keys

Who should on this lofty endeavor?
But a man who they said was
Who'd made millions of dollars refining oil
Now his focus was on reaching Key

and cynics who used pens as their lances
Took cheap at him and asked what were the chances
That the railroad you're make good on the quest
Of rolling over the ocean right Key West?

The train to paradise
dubbed Flagler's folly for the use of a knife
Undeterred by their antics Henry went on with
And drew up the for the last train to paradise.

It all when he first came to Florida
His told him that he should retire
You could live off wealth till the end of your days
But inside still had his fire.

He said this place what it could be
With the so nice all year round
So buy up the Halifax/ Jacksonville rail
And it south from town to town.

We'll track rivers and track over streams
We'll track over and other mans dreams
We'll track it mangroves and track it through the fields
And we can't track we will dredge for the fill

We'll build the last train to
New towns and new where the weather is nice
Right on to Fort Dallas where they no ice
He continued to build the train to paradise.

the railroad got as far south as Homestead.
They thought Henry, had then his best
But in the of his brain a notion remained
To take the railroad on to Key West.

Where Deep awaited the liners
and shipping to the canal.
But stood in his way was the great Biscayne bay
And an that spanned 7 miles.

with the fact that he had to cross ocean
He put all his engineers minds into
Devising a to extend the great line
By building a sea bridge one at a time.

The train to paradise
Rolled over the ocean all advice
Almost in defiance he didn't think
He had completed the train to paradise.

Mother nature had dealt him losses
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his vision strong and he vowed to go on
In the of the losses men
After 7 years to completion
He south in his car 91
He enjoyed every with a big eager smile
Because things had been done

And the skeptics and cynics who had used pens as their
Were in awe of the man who had met advances
answered all questions and passed all the test
When the yelled now arriving key west

The last to paradise
Built muscle and sweat and a vision precise
by what he accomplished in life
A divine inspiration. The Last train to
