《The Wreck Of The Old 97》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wreck Of The Old 97 - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:14] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe

[00:00:17] Virginia

[00:00:18] Said steve you're way behind time

[00:00:21] This is not 38

[00:00:23] This is ol' 97

[00:00:25] Put her into pencer on time

[00:00:29] He look turned around and said to his black

[00:00:32] Greasy fireman

[00:00:33] Shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:36] And when we 'cross that white pak mountain

[00:00:40] Watch ol' '97 roll

[00:00:45] It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville

[00:00:49] In a line on a three mile grade

[00:00:53] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:00:57] Oh you see what a jump he made

[00:01:00] He was goin' down grade making 90 miles an hour

[00:01:04] When his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:07] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:12] And was scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:31] Now ladies you must take warning

[00:01:34] From this time never more

[00:01:38] Never speak harsh words to your true love or husband

[00:01:42] He may leave you and never return
