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

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:43] They gave him his orders

[00:00:45] At Monroe Virginia

[00:00:48] Sayin' Pete you're way behind time

[00:00:52] This is not '38 but it's old '97

[00:00:57] You must put her into Spencer on time

[00:01:01] He looked round an' said

[00:01:04] To his black greasy fireman

[00:01:06] Jus' shove on in a lil' more coal

[00:01:11] And when we cross that wide old mountain

[00:01:15] You can watch old '97 roll

[00:01:40] It's a mighty rough road

[00:01:43] From Lynchburg to Danville

[00:01:45] In a line on a three mile grade

[00:01:49] It was on that grade

[00:01:52] That he lost his airbrake

[00:01:54] And you see what a jump he made

[00:02:16] He was goin' down the grade

[00:02:19] Makin' ninety miles an hour

[00:02:21] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:02:26] He was found in the wreck

[00:02:28] With his hand on the throttle

[00:02:30] And a scalded to death by the steam

[00:02:35] Now ladies you must take warnin'

[00:02:40] From this time now and on

[00:02:44] Never speak harsh words

[00:02:47] To your true love and husband

[00:02:49] He may leave you and never return
