What was as a modern day marvel
A great railroad that over sea
It defied all the whitecaps and the deep bed
And linked the whole to the keys

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

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

The train to paradise
They'd dubbed 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 first came to
His told him that he should retire
You could off your wealth till the end of your days
But inside still had his fire.

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

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

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

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

Where Deep water awaited the
and trades to the canal.
But what stood in his way was the Biscayne bay
And an that spanned 7 miles.

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

The last to paradise
over the ocean against all advice
Almost in defiance he think twice
He had completed the last to paradise.

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

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

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