Wreck Of The Ol' 97 - Woody Guthrie/Sonny Terry (桑尼·特里)/Cisco Houston[00:00:00]
Well they give him his orders in Monroe Virginia[00:00:12]
Saying Pete you're way behind time[00:00:16]
This ain't 38 but it's old 97[00:00:20]
And you've got to be in Center on time[00:00:24]
But he turned around to his black greasy fireman[00:00:29]
Said Shovel in a little more coal[00:00:32]
When we cross that White Oak Mountain[00:00:36]
You can watch old 97 roll[00:00:39]
Well it's a mighty rough road[00:00:45]
From Lakesburg to Danville[00:00:46]
And a line on a three mile grade[00:00:48]
It was on this grade that he lost his airbrakes[00:00:52]
And you see what a jump he made[00:00:56]
He was a-going down the grade[00:01:00]
Making ninety miles an hour[00:01:02]
And his whistle broke out in a scream[00:01:03]
It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes[00:01:08]
And you see what a jump he made[00:01:11]
Well ladies you must all take warning[00:01:16]
From this time now and on[00:01:22]
Never speak harsh words[00:01:26]
To your true loving husband[00:01:28]
He might leave you and never come home[00:01:30]
He was a-going down the grade[00:01:34]
Making ninety miles an hour[00:01:36]
And his whistle begin to scream[00:01:38]
And we found him in the wreck with[00:01:42]
His hand on his throttle[00:01:44]
And scalded to death by the steam[00:01:45]
Well ladies you can all take warning[00:01:50]
From this time now and on[00:01:53]
Never speak harsh words[00:01:57]
To your true loving husband[00:01:59]
He might leave you and never return[00:02:01]
