What was known as a modern day
A great that crossed over sea
It defied all the and the deep coral bed
And linked the world to the keys

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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