Wreck Of The Olf '97 - Boxcar Willie[00:00:00]

Well they gave him his orders in Munroe Virginia[00:00:15]

Saying "Steve you're a way behind time[00:00:18]

This is not 38 but it's old 97[00:00:22]

You must put her into Spencer on time"[00:00:26]

Well he turned to the black greasy fireman and said[00:00:30]

"Just shovel on a little more coal[00:00:34]

And when we cross that wide open mountain[00:00:38]

You can watch old 97 roll"[00:00:41]

It's a long long way from Danville to Lynchburg[00:01:00]

Got a line near the three mile grade[00:01:04]

It was on that grade that he lost his air breaks[00:01:07]

You could see what a jump that he made[00:01:11]

He was going down the grade doing 90 miles an hour[00:01:15]

When the whistle broke into a scream[00:01:19]

He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle[00:01:23]

And scalded to death by the steam[00:01:26]

Well a telegram came to Washington station[00:01:46]

And this is what it read[00:01:49]

"Oh that brave engineer that runs old 97[00:01:53]

Well he's lying in old Danville dead"[00:01:57]

Now come on you ladies and from me take warning[00:02:01]

And from this day on you must learn[00:02:04]

Never speak harsh words to your kind hearted husband[00:02:08]

He may leave you and never return[00:02:12]
