Wreck Of The Old ’97(Album Version)

[00:03:27] On the 29th day of one November morning

[00:03:27] When the cloud was hangin' low

[00:03:27] 97 pulled out from Washington city

[00:03:27] Like an arrow shot from the bow

[00:03:27] 97 was the fastest mail train

[00:03:27] The South had ever seen

[00:03:27] And it run from New York by the way of Washington

[00:03:27] Through Atlanta down in New Orlean (sic)

[00:03:27] I was standing on the mount one cold and frosty morning

[00:03:27] Watching the smoke from below

[00:03:27] That were comin' from the funnel of that black and dusty engine

[00:03:27] Way down up on that Southern road

[00:03:27] It was 97, the fastest mail train

[00:03:27] That run the Southern line

[00:03:27] And when she pulled in, at Lynchburg, Virginia

[00:03:27] She was forty-seven minutes behind

[00:03:27] Steve Brady, he was an engineerah (sic)

[00:03:27] And a very brave man was he

[00:03:27] Well, there're many good men have lost their life

[00:03:27] For the railroad company

[00:03:27] When they give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia

[00:03:27] Said, "Steve, you's way behind.

[00:03:27] This is not 38, but it's old 97, You must put her in Spencer on time."

[00:03:27] Steve, he smiled when he said to his black and dusty fireman

[00:03:27] "Throw me in a little more coal

[00:03:27] And as soon as we cross this White Oak Mountain

[00:03:27] You can watch my driver roll."

[00:03:27] It was mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville

[00:03:27] The line on a 3-mile grade

[00:03:27] It were on that hill where he lost his average

[00:03:27] You can see what a jump he made

[00:03:27] Steve come down that hill makin' 90 miles an hour

[00:03:27] His whistle began to scream

[00:03:27] Steve was found in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle

[00:03:27] And scalded to death by the steam

[00:03:27] Steve, he had a little wife and also two children

[00:03:27] Who were lyin' at home in bed

[00:03:27] They received the sad message saying, "Husband and father

[00:03:27] Now'm is lyin' in North Danville, dead."

[00:03:27] Now, ladies, you ought to let this be a warning

[00:03:27] This, from now and on

[00:03:27] Never speak hard words to your true lovin' husband

[00:03:27] They may leave you and never return
