Nearly 60 years later, Phil Ochs turned it into a folk song, and he included it on his album "I Ain't Marching Anymore" (1965). I'm currently working on a cover album (I've never really done one of those before), and this is a live example of one of the possible songs ...

Lee Paxton (me) performing "Engine 143" on October 26, 2009.
