《Wreck Of The Ol’ 97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck Of The Ol' 97 - Woody Guthrie/Bess Hawes

[00:00:12] Well they give him his orders in Monroe Virginia

[00:00:16] Saying Pete you're way behind time

[00:00:20] This ain't 38 but it's old 97

[00:00:24] And you've got to be in Center on time

[00:00:28] But he turned around to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:32] Said Shovel in a little more coal

[00:00:36] When we cross that White Oak Mountain

[00:00:39] You can watch old 97 roll

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

[00:00:48] And a line on a three mile grade

[00:00:52] It was on this grade that he lost his airbrakes

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

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

[00:01:03] And his whistle broke out in a scream

[00:01:08] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:11] And you see what a jump he made

[00:01:16] Well ladies you must all take warning

[00:01:21] From this time now and on

[00:01:26] Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband

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

[00:01:34] He was a-going down the grade making ninety miles an hour

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

[00:01:42] And we found him in the wreck with

[00:01:44] His hand on his throttle

[00:01:45] And scalded to death by the steam

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

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

[00:01:57] Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband

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