6 7 7 -7 6 5 -5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 9
They give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
9 -7 7 9 -9 -9 9 -8
Sayin', "Steve you're way behind time
-7 7 9 9 9 9 5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 9
This is not 38, but it's old 97
9 -7 7 -7 7 6 6 -5 5___
You must put her in Spencer on time"
(Repeat 6X)
Then he looked around and
Said to his black, greasy fireman
"Just shovel on a little more coal
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
You can watch old 97 roll"
It's a mighty rough road
From Lynchburg to Danville
In a line on a three mile grade
It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes
Oh, you see what a jump we made
He was goin' down the grade
Making 90 miles an hour
When his whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck
With his hand on the throttle
And was scalded to death by the steam
Now ladies, you must take a warning
From this time on and learn
Never speak harsh words
To your true love or husband
He may leave you and never return
This plays with a blue grass arrangement, same Artist, run time 3:19.
