《Wreck Of The Old 97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck Of The Old 97 - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:13] Well they gave him his orders at

[00:00:16] Monroe Virginia sayin' Steve

[00:00:18] You're way behind time

[00:00:21] This is not 38 but this is old 97 you've got to be

[00:00:26] Into Spencer on time

[00:00:29] Then he turned around and

[00:00:31] His black greasy fireman shovel on

[00:00:34] A little more coal

[00:00:37] And when we cross that White Oak

[00:00:40] Mountain you can watch old 97 roll

[00:00:45] Well it's a mighty rough road from Lakesburg to Danville

[00:00:49] And a line on a three mile grade

[00:00:53] It was on this grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:00:56] And you see what a jump he made

[00:01:01] He was a-going down the grade making ninety miles an hour

[00:01:04] And his whistle broke out in a scream

[00:01:09] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:12] And you see what a jump he made

[00:01:17] Well ladies you can all take warning

[00:01:22] From this time now and on

[00:01:27] Never speak harsh words to

[00:01:29] Your true loving husband

[00:01:30] He might leave you and never come home

[00:01:35] He was a-going down the grade

[00:01:36] Making ninety miles an hour

[00:01:38] And his whistle begin to scream

[00:01:43] And we found him in the

[00:01:44] Wreck with his hand on his throttle

[00:01:46] And scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:50] Well ladies you can all take warning

[00:01:54] From this time now and on

[00:01:58] Never speak harsh words

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

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