《The Wreck OF The Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck OF The Old '97 - Hank Snow

[00:00:08] They gave him his orders a

[00:00:10] T Monroe Virginia sayin'

[00:00:11] Steve you're way behind time This is not 38

[00:00:16] But that's old 97 you must put her

[00:00:19] In Spencer on time

[00:00:22] Then he looked round

[00:00:23] And said to his black greasy fireman

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

[00:00:29] And when we cross that

[00:00:31] White Oak Mountain you can watch old 97 roll

[00:00:51] It's a mighty rough road from

[00:00:52] Lynchburg to Danville

[00:00:54] With a line on a three mile grade

[00:00:57] It was on that grade

[00:00:59] Where he lost his airbrakes so you see

[00:01:02] What a jump he made

[00:01:19] He was goin' down the grade making

[00:01:21] Ninety miles an hour

[00:01:22] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:25] He was found in the wreck

[00:01:27] With his hand on the throttle

[00:01:29] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:47] Now ladies you must all take a warning

[00:01:51] From this time on and learn

[00:01:54] Never speak harsh words to

[00:01:56] Your true lovin' husband

[00:01:58] He may leave you and never return
