[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old '97 - Hank Snow

[00:00:02] Written by：F. J. Lewey/Henry Whitter

[00:00:18] All they give him his orders at Monroe Virginia saying Steve

[00:00:23] You're way behind time

[00:00:27] This is not 38 but old 97

[00:00:31] You must put in Spencer on time

[00:00:36] He looked around and said

[00:00:38] His black greasy fireman

[00:00:40] Just shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:45] And when we cross that white oak mountain

[00:00:49] You can watch old 97 roll

[00:01:12] It's a mighty rough road

[00:01:14] From Lynchburg to Danville

[00:01:16] A line on a three mile grade

[00:01:21] It was on that grade

[00:01:24] He lost his air brakes

[00:01:25] Then you see what a jump we made

[00:01:30] He was going down

[00:01:32] Making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:34] When his whistle broke into scream

[00:01:39] He was found in the wreck

[00:01:41] This hand on throttle and was scalded death by steam

[00:01:48] Now ladies you must take a warning

[00:01:52] From this time now and go

[00:01:57] Never speak harsh words

[00:01:59] To your true love it husband

[00:02:01] He may leave you and never return
