Johnny Cash - Wreck Of The Old `97 слова песни
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.One more time!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.
