《Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old '97 - Hank Snow

[00:00:09] They give him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:13] Sayin' steve you're way behind time

[00:00:17] This is not 38 but it's old 97

[00:00:20] You must put her in Spencer on time

[00:00:24] Then he looked around and

[00:00:25] Said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:27] Just shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:31] And when we cross that White Oak Mountain

[00:00:35] You can watch old 97 roll

[00:00:53] It's a mighty rough road

[00:00:55] From Lynchburg to Danville

[00:00:56] In a line on a three mile grade

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

[00:01:03] Oh you see what a jump we made

[00:01:21] He was goin' down the grade

[00:01:23] Making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:25] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:28] He was found in the wreck

[00:01:30] With his hand on the throttle

[00:01:32] And was scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:50] Now ladies you must take a warning

[00:01:53] From this time on and learn

[00:01:57] Never speak harsh words

[00:01:59] To your true love or husband

[00:02:01] He may leave you and never return
