时长： 02:13

Wreck of the Old '97 - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia[00:00:13]

Sayin' Steve you're way behind time[00:00:17]

This is not 38 this is old 97[00:00:21]

Put her into Spencer on time[00:00:24]

Then he turned around and said to[00:00:29]

His black greasy fireman shovel on a little more coal[00:00:32]

And when we cross[00:00:36]

That White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll[00:00:38]

And then the telegram come to[00:00:45]

Washington station this is how it read[00:00:47]

Oh that brave engineer that run old 9[00:00:52]

7 he's a layin' in old Danville dead[00:00:56]

Cause he was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles[00:01:00]

An hour his whistle broke into a scream[00:01:04]

He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle[00:01:08]

A scalded to death by the steam[00:01:12]

So now all you ladies you better[00:01:17]

Take a warnin' from this time on and learn[00:01:21]

Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband[00:01:26]

He may leave you and never return[00:01:30]
