《The Wreck Of The Old 97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck Of The Old 97 - Hank Snow

[00:00:10] They give him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:14] Sayin' "Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:17] This is not 38 but it's old 97

[00:00:21] You must put her in Spencer on time"

[00:00:25] Then he looked around and

[00:00:26] Said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:29] "Just shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:32] And when we cross that White Oak Mountain

[00:00:36] You can watch old 97 roll"

[00:00:55] It's a mighty rough road

[00:00:57] From Lynchburg to Danville

[00:00:59] In a line on a three mile grade

[00:01:02] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:06] Oh you see what a jump we made

[00:01:25] He was goin' down the grade

[00:01:26] Making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:28] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:32] He was found in the wreck

[00:01:34] With his hand on the throttle

[00:01:36] And was scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:55] Now ladies you must take a warning

[00:01:58] From this time on and learn

[00:02:02] Never speak harsh words

[00:02:04] To your true love or husband

[00:02:06] He may leave you and never return
