Wreck of the Old '97 - Vernon Dalhart/The Vel-Aires[00:00:00]

They gave him his orders[00:00:40]

At monroe virginia[00:00:42]

Sayin' pete you're way behind time[00:00:44]

This is not '38 but its old '97[00:00:48]

You must put her into spencer on time[00:00:53]

He looked round an' said[00:00:57]

To his black greasy fireman[00:00:59]

Jus' shove on in a lil' more coal[00:01:01]

And when we cross that wide old mountain[00:01:06]

You can watch old '97 roll[00:01:10]

It's a mighty rough road[00:01:33]

From lynchburg to danville[00:01:35]

In a line on a three mile grade[00:01:37]

It was on that grade[00:01:42]

That he lost his airbrake[00:01:44]

And you see what a jump he made[00:01:46]

He was goin' down the grade[00:02:07]

Makin' ninety miles an hour[00:02:09]

When his whistle broke into a scream[00:02:11]

He was found in the wreck[00:02:15]

With his hand on the throttle[00:02:17]

And a scalded to death by the steam[00:02:19]

Now ladies you must take warnin'[00:02:24]

From this time now and on[00:02:28]

Never speak harsh words[00:02:32]

To your true love and husband[00:02:35]

He may leave you and never return[00:02:37]
