What was known as a day marvel
A railroad that crossed over sea
It all the whitecaps and the deep coral bed
And linked the whole world to the

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

Skeptics and cynics who pens as their lances
Took cheap shots at him and what were the chances
That the railroad you're building make good on the
Of over the ocean right into Key West?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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