What was known as a modern day
A great 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 made of dollars refining crude oil
Now his was on reaching Key West

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

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

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

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

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

We'll build the last train to
New towns and new hotels where the weather is
Right on to Fort Dallas where they no ice
He continued to build the last 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 awaited the
and shipping to the canal.
But what stood in his way was the Biscayne bay
And an inlet spanned 7 miles.

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

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

Mother nature had dealt him some
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his vision 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 enjoyed every mile with a big smile
impossible things had been done

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

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