[00:06.51]Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia
[00:10.67]Said Steve you're way behind time
[00:15.33]This is not 38 this is Old 97
[00:30.69]Put her into Spencer on time
[00:37.02]Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman
[00:46.70]Shovel on a little more coal
[00:50.84]And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
[01:00.29]Watch Old 97 roll
[01:04.03]And then a telegram come from Washington station
[01:11.57]This is how it read
[01:16.62]Oh that brave engineer that run Old 97
[01:23.50]Is lyin' in old Danville dead
[01:27.25]'Cause he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour
[01:34.87]The whistle broke into a scream
[01:38.68]He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
[01:50.94]Scalded to death by the steam
[01:58.34]One more time
[01:59.77]Oh now all you ladies you'd better take a warning
[02:09.14]From this time on and learn
[02:14.63]Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband
[02:20.21]He may leave you and never return poor boy
