Wreck Of The Old 97

Wreck Of The Old 97 - Vernon Dalhart[00:00:00]

Written by:Traditional[00:00:01]

They gave him his orders[00:00:43]

At Monroe Virginia[00:00:45]

Sayin' Pete you're way behind time[00:00:48]

This is not '38 but it's old '97[00:00:52]

You must put her into Spencer on time[00:00:57]

He looked round an' said[00:01:01]

To his black greasy fireman[00:01:04]

Jus' shove on in a lil' more coal[00:01:06]

And when we cross that wide old mountain[00:01:11]

You can watch old '97 roll[00:01:15]

It's a mighty rough road[00:01:40]

From Lynchburg to Danville[00:01:43]

In a line on a three mile grade[00:01:45]

It was on that grade[00:01:49]

That he lost his airbrake[00:01:52]

And you see what a jump he made[00:01:54]

He was goin' down the grade[00:02:16]

Makin' ninety miles an hour[00:02:19]

When his whistle broke into a scream[00:02:21]

He was found in the wreck[00:02:26]

With his hand on the throttle[00:02:28]

And a scalded to death by the steam[00:02:30]

Now ladies you must take warnin'[00:02:35]

From this time now and on[00:02:40]

Never speak harsh words[00:02:44]

To your true love and husband[00:02:47]

He may leave you and never return[00:02:49]
