The Last to Paradise

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

Who should take on lofty endeavor?
But a man who they was obsessed
Who'd made of dollars refining crude oil
Now his focus was on Key West

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

The train to paradise
They'd dubbed Flagler's 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 when he first came to
His friends told him he should retire
You could live off your 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 Jacksonville rail
And track it south town to town.

We'll over rivers and track over streams
We'll track farmland and other mans dreams
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 train to paradise
New towns and new where the weather is nice
on to Fort Dallas where they suffer 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 back of his brain a notion
To take the right on to Key West.

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

Faced with the fact he had to cross ocean
He put all his minds into motion
Devising a 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 he didn't think twice
He had completed the last to paradise.

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

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

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