was known as a modern day marvel
A great railroad crossed over sea
It defied all the and the deep coral bed
And linked the world to the keys

Who should take on this endeavor?
But a man who said was obsessed
made millions of dollars refining crude oil
Now his focus was on Key West

Skeptics and cynics who used as their lances
Took cheap shots at him and asked what the chances
the railroad you're building make good on the quest
Of rolling over the right into Key West?

The Last train to
They'd dubbed Flagler's folly for the use of a
by their antics Henry went on with life
And drew up the plans for the train to paradise.

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

He said this place aint what it be
With the weather so nice all round
So I'll buy up the Jacksonville rail
And track it south from to town.

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

Right on to Dallas where they suffer no ice

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

The last train to
Rolled over the ocean against all
in defiance he didn't think twice
He had the last train to paradise.

Mother had dealt him some losses
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his stayed strong and he vowed to go on
In the of the losses men
After 7 long to completion
He rolled in his car 91
He every mile with a big eager smile
impossible 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
Henry all questions and passed all the test
When the yelled now arriving key west

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