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

Who should take on this lofty
But a man who said was obsessed
Who'd made millions of refining crude oil
Now his focus was on Key West

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

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

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

He said this aint what it could be
the weather so nice all year round
So I'll buy up the Halifax/ Jacksonville
And track it south from to town.

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

build the last train to paradise
New and new hotels where the weather is nice
Right on to Dallas where they suffer no ice
He to build the last train to paradise.

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

Where Deep water the liners
and trades to the canal.
But what stood in his way was the great bay
And an inlet that 7 miles.

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

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

Mother had dealt him some losses
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his vision strong and he vowed to go on
In the memory of the men
After 7 long years to
He rolled in his car 91
He enjoyed every mile with a big eager
Because impossible things had been

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

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