Hank Snow - Wreck of the Old `97 слова песни
Oh they gave him his orders out of Monroe, Virginia Saying "Pete you`re way behind time.This is not 38 but it`s old 97,You must put her through and get her on time."Now it`s a mighty rough road from Memphis to Danvilleand a line on a three mile grade.It was on this grade that his air brakes failedand you know what a wreck he made.Now he was goin` down grade makin` 90 miles an hourWhen his whistle began to scream.He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttleAnd all scalded to death with steam.Oh lady, oh lady, you must take warning,From this day now and on!Never speak harsh words to your true and loving husband,He may leave you and never return!
