Wreck of the Old '97 - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
Written by:F. J. Lewey/Henry Whitter[00:00:02]
All they give him his orders at Monroe Virginia saying Steve[00:00:18]
You're way behind time[00:00:23]
This is not 38 but old 97[00:00:27]
You must put in Spencer on time[00:00:31]
He looked around and said[00:00:36]
His black greasy fireman[00:00:38]
Just shovel on a little more coal[00:00:40]
And when we cross that white oak mountain[00:00:45]
You can watch old 97 roll[00:00:49]
It's a mighty rough road[00:01:12]
From Lynchburg to Danville[00:01:14]
A line on a three mile grade[00:01:16]
It was on that grade[00:01:21]
He lost his air brakes[00:01:24]
Then you see what a jump we made[00:01:25]
He was going down[00:01:30]
Making 90 miles an hour[00:01:32]
When his whistle broke into scream[00:01:34]
He was found in the wreck[00:01:39]
This hand on throttle and was scalded death by steam[00:01:41]
Now ladies you must take a warning[00:01:48]
From this time now and go[00:01:52]
Never speak harsh words[00:01:57]
To your true love it husband[00:01:59]
He may leave you and never return[00:02:01]
