[00:00:21] Well they gave him his orders at

[00:00:24] Monroe Virginia

[00:00:26] Saying Steve

[00:00:28] You're way behind the times

[00:00:32] This is not 38

[00:00:34] This is old 97

[00:00:37] So get her into Spencer on time

[00:00:42] Well he turned around and said

[00:00:45] To his old greasy fireman

[00:00:48] Shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:52] When we 'cross that big

[00:00:55] White mountain you'll be watchin'

[00:00:59] Old 97 start to roll

[00:01:25] Well it's a mighty long road from Lynchburg down to Danville

[00:01:30] On a line of three-mile grade

[00:01:35] It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes

[00:01:42] Shoulda seen the jump he had to make

[00:01:46] They were going down the grade at 90 miles an hour

[00:01:52] When the whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:57] He was found in the wreck

[00:01:59] With his hand on the throttle

[00:02:02] Scalded to death day by the steam

[00:02:29] Well a telegram came from Washington city

[00:02:35] And this is how the telegram read

[00:02:39] That the brave engineer in the old 97

[00:02:45] Is layin' out in Danville and he's dead

[00:03:01] Now all of you ladies take heed

[00:03:05] And take warning

[00:03:08] And try to learn

[00:03:12] Never speak harsh words against your lovin' husband

[00:03:18] 'Cause he may never return

[00:03:23] No he may never return
