The Wreck Of The Old 97 (Album Version) - Pink Anderson[00:00:00]

On the 29th day of one November morning[00:00:01]

When the cloud was hangin' low[00:00:08]

97 pulled out from Washington city[00:00:14]

Like an arrow shot from the bow[00:00:21]

97 was the fastest mail train[00:00:27]

The south had ever seen[00:00:34]

And it run from new york by the way of Washington[00:00:39]

Through Atlanta down in New Orlean[00:00:46]

I was standing on the mount one cold and frosty morning[00:00:52]

Watching the smoke from below[00:00:59]

That were coming from the funnel of that black and dusty engine[00:01:04]

Way down up on that southern road[00:01:11]

It was 97 the fastest mail train[00:01:17]

That run the southern line[00:01:23]

And when she pulled in at Lynchburg Virginia[00:01:29]

She was forty-seven minutes behind[00:01:35]

Steve Brady he was an engineerah[00:01:41]

And a very brave man was he[00:01:48]

Well there're many good men have lost their life[00:01:53]

For the railroad company[00:02:00]

When they give him his orders at Monroe Virginia[00:02:05]

Said Steve you's way behind[00:02:12]

This is not 38 but it's old 97[00:02:18]

You must put her in Spencer on time[00:02:24]

Steve he smiled when he said to his black and dusty fireman[00:02:30]

Throw me in a little more coal[00:02:37]

And as soon as we cross this White Oak Mountain[00:02:42]

You can watch my driver roll[00:02:48]

It was mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville[00:02:54]

The line on a 3-mile grade[00:03:00]

It were on that hill where he lost his average[00:03:06]

You can see what a jump he made[00:03:12]

Steve come down that hill makin' 90 miles an hour[00:03:18]

His whistle began to scream[00:03:25]

Steve was found in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle[00:03:30]

And scalded to death by the steam[00:03:37]

Steve he had a little wife and also two children[00:03:42]

Who were lying at home in bed[00:03:49]

They received the sad message saying husband and father[00:03:55]

Now'm is lying in north Danville dead[00:04:01]

Now ladies you ought to let this be a warning[00:04:07]

This from now and on[00:04:14]

Never speak hard words to your true loving husband[00:04:19]

They may leave you and never return[00:04:26]
