[00:00:00] Wreck Of The Old '97(Live at Annex 14 NCO Club Long Binh ) - Johnny Cash

[00:00:04] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:07] Said: "Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:11] "This is not 38 this is Ol' 97

[00:00:15] "Put her into Spencer on time "

[00:00:18] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:25] "Shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:29] "And when we cross that White Oak mountain

[00:00:33] "Watch Ol' '97 roll "

[00:00:51] And then a telegram come from Washington station

[00:00:54] This is how it read:

[00:00:58] "Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97

[00:01:02] "Is lyin in old Danville dead "

[00:01:07] 'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:11] The whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:14] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:18] Scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:36] Oh now all you ladies you'd better take a warning

[00:01:40] From this time on and learn

[00:01:44] Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband

[00:01:47] He may leave you and never return

[00:01:50] Poor Boy
