Текст (слова) песни: Hank Snow - Wreck Of The Old 97
They gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia sayin` Steve you`re way behind time This is not 38 but that`s old 97 you must put her in Spencer on time Then he looked round and said to his black greasy fireman Just shovel on a little more coal And when we cross that White Oak Mountain you can watch old 97 roll [ ac.guitar ] It`s a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville with a line on a three mile grade It was on that grade where he lost his airbrakes so you see what a jump he made He was goin` down the grade making ninety miles an hour When his whistle broke into a scream He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle A scalded to death by the steam [ piano ] Now ladies you must all 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
