[00:00:01] The Wreck of the Number Nine - Hank Snow

[00:00:03] Written by：Carson J. Robison/Chet Atkins

[00:00:05] They give him his orders at monroe virginia

[00:00:09] Sayin' steve you're way behind time

[00:00:13] This is not thirty eight but it's old ninety seven

[00:00:17] You must put her in spencer on time

[00:00:21] Then he looked 'round and said to his black greasy fireman

[00:00:25] Just shovel in a little more coal

[00:00:29] And when we 'cross that white oak mountain

[00:00:33] You can watch old ninety seven roll

[00:00:54] It's a mighty rough road from lynchburg to danville

[00:00:58] In a line on a three mile grade

[00:01:02] It was on that grade where he lost his air brakes

[00:01:06] So you see what a jump he made

[00:01:10] He was goin' down grade makin' ninety miles an hour

[00:01:14] And his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:18] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:23] And scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:43] Now ladies you must all take warning

[00:01:47] From this time on and learn

[00:01:51] Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband

[00:01:55] He may leave you and never return
