《They Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck Of The Old '97 - Johnny Cash

[00:00:05] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:09] Said Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:13] This is not 38 this is Old '97

[00:00:18] Put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:22] Then he turned around and said to his black

[00:00:25] Greasy fireman

[00:00:27] Shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:31] And when we cross that White Oak mountain

[00:00:35] Watch Old '97 roll

[00:00:56] But it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville

[00:01:01] With a line on a three mile grade

[00:01:05] It was on that grade

[00:01:07] That he lost his air brakes see what a jump he made

[00:01:13] He was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:22] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:26] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:30] Oh now all you ladies you'd better take a warning

[00:01:34] From this time on and learn

[00:01:38] Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband

[00:01:43] He may leave you and never return
