The Wreck Of The Old 97 |
Well they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia |
Said: «Steve, you’re way behind time |
«This is not 38, this is Ol' 97 |
«Put her into Spencer on time.» |
Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman |
«Shovel on a little more coal |
«And when we cross that White Oak mountain |
«Watch Ol' '97 roll.» |
And then a telegram come from Washington station |
This is how it read: |
«Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97 |
«Is lyin in old Danville dead.» |
'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour |
The whistle broke into a scream |
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle |
Scalded to death by the steam |
And then a telegram come from Washington station |
This is how it read: |
«Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97 |
«Is lyin in old Danville dead.» |
Oh, now all you ladies you’d better take a warning |
From this time on and learn |
Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband |
He may leave you and never return |
Poor Boy |
