[00:00:00] Wreck Of The Old Ninety-Seven - Oscar Brand

[00:00:04] The Wreck of the Old 97

[00:00:05] There were 97 airplanes warming up on the apron

[00:00:07] Far as the eye could see

[00:00:11] Now the first 96 were recent construction

[00:00:14] But the last was a 51-D

[00:00:21] Then a 2nd Lieutenant wandered into operations

[00:00:24] Asked for a ship to fly

[00:00:28] They said young man we are very short of airplanes

[00:00:31] But we'll get you a somethin' by and by

[00:00:38] Now the first 46 are reserved for the Majors

[00:00:42] The captains have the next 49

[00:00:45] There's only one other ship on the end of the apron

[00:00:49] Said the Shavetail and that one is mine

[00:00:55] So he flew over Tajon and the Taju airstrip

[00:00:59] When the ceiling began to fall

[00:01:02] The clouds closed down on the tops of the mountains

[00:01:06] He couldn't see the ground at all

[00:01:13] He flew through the rain he flew through the snowstorm

[00:01:16] When the light began to fail

[00:01:19] Then he spied a railroad goin' in his direction

[00:01:23] And he said better get there by rail

[00:01:30] He flew down the valley and he dodged through the canyon

[00:01:34] Keeping that train in his sight

[00:01:37] 'Til the rails disappeared in a hole in the mountain

[00:01:40] That was the end of his flight

[00:01:47] It was Old 97 with her nose in the mountain

[00:01:51] Her wheels set akimbo on the track

[00:01:54] Yes her throttle was bent in forward position

[00:01:58] But the engine was facing straight back

[00:02:04] Oh ladies ladies take fair warning

[00:02:08] From this time now on

[00:02:11] Never speak harsh words to your high-flying pilot

[00:02:14] He may leave you and never return
