Wreck Of The Old 97 - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：Fred J. Lewey/Henry Whitter/Charles W. Noell[00:00:01]

Composed by：Fred J. Lewey/Henry Whitter/Charles W. Noell[00:00:03]

Produced by：John Mellencamp[00:00:05]

Well they gave him his orders at[00:00:21]

Monroe Virginia[00:00:24]

Saying Steve[00:00:26]

You're way behind the times[00:00:28]

This is not 38[00:00:32]

This is old 97[00:00:34]

So get her into Spencer on time[00:00:37]

Well he turned around and said[00:00:42]

To his old greasy fireman[00:00:45]

Shovel on a little more coal[00:00:48]

When we 'cross that big[00:00:52]

White mountain you'll be watchin'[00:00:55]

Old 97 start to roll[00:00:59]

Well it's a mighty long road from Lynchburg down to Danville[00:01:25]

On a line of three-mile grade[00:01:30]

It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes[00:01:35]

Shoulda seen the jump he had to make[00:01:42]

They were going down the grade at 90 miles an hour[00:01:46]

When the whistle broke into a scream[00:01:52]

He was found in the wreck[00:01:57]

With his hand on the throttle[00:01:59]

Scalded to death day by the steam[00:02:02]

Well a telegram came from Washington city[00:02:29]

And this is how the telegram read[00:02:35]

That the brave engineer in the old 97[00:02:39]

Is layin' out in Danville and he's dead[00:02:45]

Now all of you ladies take heed[00:03:01]

And take warning[00:03:05]

And try to learn[00:03:08]

Never speak harsh words against your lovin' husband[00:03:12]

'Cause he may never return[00:03:18]

No he may never return[00:03:23]
