Wreck of the Old 97 (Live)
Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia, said:? Pete, you're 'way behind time; This is not thirty-eight, this is old ninety-seven, Put her into Spencer on time
Then her turned around and said to his black greasy fireman? Shovel on a little more coal, And when we cross that white oak mountain Watch old ninety-seven roll.
And then a telegram came from Washington Station and this is how it read- Oh that brave engineer that ran old ninety-seven Is lying in old Anvil dead. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
'Cos he was going down the grade making ninety miles an hour the whistle broke into a scream- He was found in the wreck with his handon the Throttle- Scalded to dead by the steam.
Well now? all you ladies had better take a warning from this time on and learn, never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband He may leave you and never return? poor boy!
