Wreck Of The Old 97 - Boxcar Willie[00:00:00]

Well they gave him his orders[00:00:15]

In Munroe Virginia[00:00:17]

Saying "Steve [00:00:19]

Youre a way behind time[00:00:20]

This is not 38 but its old 97[00:00:22]

You must put her into Spencer on time"[00:00:26]

Well he turned to the[00:00:30]

Black greasy fireman and said[00:00:31]

"Just shovel on a little more coal[00:00:34]

And when we cross that[00:00:37]

Wide open mountain[00:00:39]

You can watch old 97 roll"[00:00:41]

Its a long long way[00:01:00]

From Danville to Lynchburg[00:01:02]

Got a line near the three mile grade[00:01:04]

It was on that grade that[00:01:08]

He lost his air breaks[00:01:10]

You could see what a jump that he made[00:01:12]

He was going down the grade[00:01:15]

Doing 90 miles an hour[00:01:17]

When the whistle broke into a scream[00:01:19]

He was found in the wreck[00:01:23]

With his hand on the throttle[00:01:25]

And scalded to death by the steam[00:01:26]

Well a telegram came[00:01:46]

To Washington station[00:01:47]

And this is what it read[00:01:49]

"Oh that brave engineer that runs old 97[00:01:53]

Well hes lying in old Danville dead"[00:01:56]

Now come on you ladies[00:02:01]

And from me take warning[00:02:02]

And from this day on you must learn[00:02:04]

Never speak harsh words[00:02:07]

To your kind hearted husband[00:02:10]

He may leave you and never return[00:02:12]
