《Wreck Of The Old ’97》歌词

[00:00:00] Wreck of the Old '97 - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:05] Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

[00:00:09] Sayin' Steve you're way behind time

[00:00:13] This is not 38 this is old 97 you must

[00:00:18] Put her into Spencer on time

[00:00:22] Then he turned around and said to his black greasy

[00:00:26] Fireman shovel on a little more coal

[00:00:31] And when we cross that White Oak

[00:00:34] Mountain watch old 97 roll

[00:00:56] Then the telegram come to Washington

[00:01:00] Station and this is how it read

[00:01:04] Oh that brave engineer that run old 97

[00:01:07] He's a layin' in old Danville dead

[00:01:09] He was goin' down the grade makin' 90

[00:01:16] Miles an hour his whistle broke into a scream

[00:01:21] He was found in the wreck with his

[00:01:23] Hand on the throttle

[00:01:25] A scalded to death by the steam

[00:01:29] So now all you ladies you better

[00:01:32] Take a warnin' from this time on and learn

[00:01:37] Never speak harsh words to

[00:01:40] Your true lovin' husband

[00:01:42] He may leave you and never return
