《The Wreck Of Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck Of Old '97 - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:07] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia sayin' Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:14] This is not 38 this is old 97 you must put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:21] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:29] And when we cross that White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll

[00:00:50] Then the telegram come to Washington station and this is how it read

[00:00:57] Oh that brave engineer that run old 97 he's a layin' in old Danville dead

[00:01:04] He was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:11] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:15] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:32] So now all you ladies you better take a warnin' from this time on and learn

[00:01:39] Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband

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