《The Wreck of Old ’97》歌词

[00:01:42] The Wreck of Old '97 - Johnny Cash

[00:01:42] Well, they gave him his orders in Monroe, Virginian,

[00:01:42] Said, "Steve, you're way behind time,

[00:01:42] "This is not 38, this is Ol'97,

[00:01:42] "Put her into Spencer on time."

[00:01:42] Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman,

[00:01:42] "Shovel on a little more coal.

[00:01:42] And when we reach that White Oak mountain,

[00:01:42] "Watch Ol'97 roll."

[00:01:42] And then a telegran come from Washington station,

[00:01:42] This is what it read,

[00:01:42] "Oh that brave engineer that run '97,

[00:01:42] "Is lyin' in Danville dead."

[00:01:42] "Cause he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour,

[00:01:42] The whistle broke into a scream.

[00:01:42] He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,

[00:01:42] Scalded to death by steam."

[00:01:42] One more time!

[00:01:42] Oh, now all you ladies better take a warning,

[00:01:42] From this time on and learn.

[00:01:42] Never speak harsh to your true-lovin' husband,

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

[00:01:42] Poor Boy.
