lirik lagu charles j. adams iii – mary ambler’s heroics
july 17th, 1856 ~ the quiet philadelphia suburb of wissahickon
it is a day which will change the very history of that little town, all because of a train wreck
along the camp hill curve, south of town, two trains, the aramingo and the shakamaxon, are on a collision course
human error sends the trains plowing into one another
the aramingo’s boiler explodes
the messenger of death comes to call 59 times that july morning
most of the dead are youngsters bound for a summer picnic
into the ghastly scene rushes an angel of mercy
a quaker, widow, mother of nine
she comforts the injured, cradles the dying in her arms, opens her home as a makeshift hospital
her neighbors rush to her side
tirelessly, in the sweltering heat, she tends to the needs of the needy
after the wreckage clears, this heroine, this mary, is honored in a most lasting fashion
for she is mary ambler, and forever what before the wreck and before mary’s unselfish deeds was wissahickon is now ambler, pennsylvania
