Current song lyrics
Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia<br />Saying Steve you're way behind time<br />This is not 38 but it's old 97 you must put her into Spencer on time<br />Well he turned around and said to his fireman shovel in a little more coal<br />And when we cross this big White Mountain we'll watch old 97 roll<br />[ dobro ]<br />It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville and a line on a three mile grade<br />It's on that grade that he lost his airbrakes you see what a jump he made<br />They were goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour<br />When his whistle broke into a scream<br />He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle<br />A scalded to death by the steam<br />[ fiddle ]<br />Then the telegram come to Washington city and this is how it read<br />The brave engineer that run old 97 he's a laying in old Danville dead<br />Now all you ladies we take a warning from this time now and learn<br />Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband
