The Wreck Of The Old 97 - Hank Snow[00:00:00]

They give him his orders at Monroe Virginia[00:00:10]

Sayin' "Steve you're way behind time[00:00:14]

This is not 38 but it's old 97[00:00:17]

You must put her in Spencer on time"[00:00:21]

Then he looked around and[00:00:25]

Said to his black greasy fireman[00:00:26]

"Just shovel on a little more coal[00:00:29]

And when we cross that White Oak Mountain[00:00:32]

You can watch old 97 roll"[00:00:36]

It's a mighty rough road[00:00:55]

From Lynchburg to Danville[00:00:57]

In a line on a three mile grade[00:00:59]

It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes[00:01:02]

Oh you see what a jump we made[00:01:06]

He was goin' down the grade[00:01:25]

Making 90 miles an hour[00:01:26]

When his whistle broke into a scream[00:01:28]

He was found in the wreck[00:01:32]

With his hand on the throttle[00:01:34]

And was scalded to death by the steam[00:01:36]

Now ladies you must take a warning[00:01:55]

From this time on and learn[00:01:58]

Never speak harsh words[00:02:02]

To your true love or husband[00:02:04]

He may leave you and never return[00:02:06]
