《The Wreck of the Ol’ 97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck of the Ol' 97 - Woody Guthrie

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

[00:00:15] Virginia

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

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

[00:00:23] And you've got to be in Center on time

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

[00:00:31] Said Shovel in a little more coal

[00:00:35] When we 'cross that White Oak Mountain

[00:00:38] You can watch old 97 roll

[00:00:43] Well it's a mighty rough road from Lakesburg to Danville

[00:00:47] And a line on a three mile grade

[00:00:50] It was on this grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:00:54] And you see what a jump he made

[00:00:58] He was a going down the grade making ninety miles an hour

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

[00:01:06] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:09] And you see what a jump he made

[00:01:14] He was a going down the grade making ninety miles an hour

[00:01:17] And his whistle begin to scream

[00:01:22] And we found him in the wreck

[00:01:23] With his hand on his throttle

[00:01:25] And scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:29] Well ladies you can all take warning

[00:01:32] From this time now and on

[00:01:37] Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband

[00:01:40] He might leave you and never return
