《Wreck of the Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old '97 - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:13] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:17] Sayin' Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:21] This is not 38 this is old 97

[00:00:24] Put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:29] Then he turned around and said to

[00:00:32] His black greasy fireman shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:36] And when we cross

[00:00:38] That White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll

[00:00:45] And then the telegram come to

[00:00:47] Washington station this is how it read

[00:00:52] Oh that brave engineer that run old 9

[00:00:56] 7 he's a layin' in old Danville dead

[00:01:00] Cause he was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles

[00:01:04] An hour his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:08] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

[00:01:12] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:17] So now all you ladies you better

[00:01:21] Take a warnin' from this time on and learn

[00:01:26] Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband

[00:01:30] He may leave you and never return
