《Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old '97 - Hank Snow/D.R

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

[00:00:22] Said Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:27] This Is not 38 this Is ol'97

[00:00:31] Put her Into Spencer on time

[00:00:36] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:41] Shovel on a little more coal

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

[00:00:49] Watch ol''97 roll

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

[00:01:14] From lynch-burg to danville

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

[00:01:21] It was on that grade that he lost his air-brakes

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

[00:01:30] 'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:34] The whistle broke Into a scream

[00:01:39] He was found In the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:43] Scalded to death by the steam

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

[00:01:53] From this time on and learn

[00:01:57] Never speak harsh words

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

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