《Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old 97 - Mac Wiseman/The Nashvill Grass/Vassar Clements/Jerry Douglas

[00:00:18] Well they gave him his orders at

[00:00:21] Monroe Virginia sayin' Steve

[00:00:24] You're way behind time

[00:00:27] This is not 38

[00:00:30] But old 97

[00:00:31] You must put her into Spencer on time

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

[00:00:38] To his black greasy fireman

[00:00:41] Sho-shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:45] And when we cross

[00:00:47] 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] All the line put on a three mile grade

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

[00:01:24] He lost his airbrakes

[00:01:25] Since you see what a jump he made

[00:01:30] He was goin' down the road

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

[00:01:35] When the whistle brocken to a scream

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

[00:01:41] With his hand on the throttle

[00:01:44] Oh scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:48] All ladies as you

[00:01:50] Must took this warning

[00:01:53] From this time now and don't

[00:01:57] Never speak harsh words

[00:01:59] To your true loving husband

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