Wreck of the Old ’97

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]
