Hank Snow - Wreck Of The Old 97 слова песни
They gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia sayin` Steve you`re way behind timeThis is not 38 but that`s old 97 you must put her in Spencer on timeThen he looked round and said to his black greasy firemanJust shovel on a little more coalAnd 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 gradeIt was on that grade where he lost his airbrakes so you see what a jump he madeHe was goin` down the grade making ninety miles an hourWhen his whistle broke into a screamHe was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttleA scalded to death by the steam[ piano ]Now ladies you must all take a warning from this time on and learnNever speak harsh words to your true lovin` husband he may leave you and never return
