[00:00:00] Wreck Of The Old 97 - Vernon Dalhart/Grayson

[00:00:41] Well they gave him his orders in monroe virginia

[00:00:45] Sayin steve you're way behind time

[00:00:49] This is not 38 this is ole'97

[00:00:54] You must put her into spencer on time

[00:00:58] So he turned around and said to

[00:01:01] His black greasy fireman

[00:01:03] To shovel on a little more the coal

[00:01:07] And when we cross that white oak mountain

[00:01:12] You can watch ole'97 roll

[00:01:36] It's a mighty rough road from lynchburg to danville

[00:01:41] It's a line on a three mile grade

[00:01:45] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:50] You can see what a jump he made

[00:02:12] He was goin' down that grade makin'90 miles an hour

[00:02:17] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:02:21] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:02:25] Scalded to death by the steam

[00:02:30] So ladies you must take warnin

[00:02:35] From this time on and learn

[00:02:39] Never speak harsh words to your true loving husbands

[00:02:44] They may leave you and never return
