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

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

and cynics who used pens as their lances
Took cheap shots at him and asked what the chances
That the railroad building make good on the quest
Of rolling over the ocean right into Key

The Last to paradise
They'd dubbed folly for the use of a knife
Undeterred by their antics Henry on with life
And up the plans for the last train to paradise.

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

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

track over rivers and track over streams
We'll over farmland and other mans dreams
We'll it through 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 where the weather is nice
Right on to Fort Dallas where suffer no ice
He continued to the last train to paradise.

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

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

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

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

nature had dealt 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
7 long years to completion
He rolled in his car 91
He enjoyed every with a big eager smile
Because impossible things had done

And the skeptics and cynics who had used pens as their
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 to paradise
Built with muscle and and a vision precise
by what he accomplished in life
A divine inspiration. The Last to paradise
