The Wreck of the Old 97' Lyrics

They gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia Sayin' Steve you're way behind timeThis is not 38 but this it's old 97You must put her in Spencer on time
He turned around and said to his black greasy firemanJust shovel on a little more coalAnd when we cross that White Oak MountainYou can watch old 97 roll
He was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hourHis whistle broke into a screamHe was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttleA scalded to death by the steam
He was goin' down the grade...[ harmonica ]So come on you ladies you must take a warningFrom this time on and learnNever speak harsh words to your true loving husband He may leave you and never return
