《The Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck of the Old '97 - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:14] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:18] Saying Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:22] This is not 38 this is Ol' 97

[00:00:25] Put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:29] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:33] Saying Shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:36] And when we cross that White Oak mountain

[00:00:40] You can watch Ol' '97 roll

[00:01:01] He was going around a grade making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:04] The whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:08] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:12] And scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:31] All you ladies you'd better take a warning

[00:01:35] From this time and learn more

[00:01:38] Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband

[00:01:42] He may leave you and never return
