Wreck of the Old '97 - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
They give him his orders at Monroe Virginia[00:00:09]
Sayin' steve you're way behind time[00:00:13]
This is not 38 but it's old 97[00:00:17]
You must put her in Spencer on time[00:00:20]
Then he looked around and[00:00:24]
Said to his black greasy fireman[00:00:25]
Just shovel on a little more coal[00:00:27]
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain[00:00:31]
You can watch old 97 roll[00:00:35]
It's a mighty rough road[00:00:53]
From Lynchburg to Danville[00:00:55]
In a line on a three mile grade[00:00:56]
It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes[00:01:00]
Oh you see what a jump we made[00:01:03]
He was goin' down the grade[00:01:21]
Making 90 miles an hour[00:01:23]
When his whistle broke into a scream[00:01:25]
He was found in the wreck[00:01:28]
With his hand on the throttle[00:01:30]
And was scalded to death by the steam[00:01:32]
Now ladies you must take a warning[00:01:50]
From this time on and learn[00:01:53]
Never speak harsh words[00:01:57]
To your true love or husband[00:01:59]
He may leave you and never return[00:02:01]
