《Wreck of the Old 97》歌词

[00:00:12] Wreck Of The Old 97 -Johnny Cash

[00:00:21] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia sayin' Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:30] This is not 38 this is old 97 you must put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:38] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:46] And when we cross that White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll

[00:01:11] Then the telegram come to Washington station and this is how it read

[00:01:20] Oh that brave engineer that run old 97 he's a layin' in old Danville dead

[00:01:27] He was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:36] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:40] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:02:04] So now all you ladies you better take a warnin' from this time on and learn

[00:02:25] Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband

[00:02:29] He may leave you and never return
