[00:06.48]Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia
[00:10.64]Said Steve you're way behind time
[00:15.30]This is not 38 this is Old 97
[00:30.66]Put her into Spencer on time
[00:36.99]Then he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman
[00:46.67]Shovel on a little more coal
[00:50.81]And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
[01:00.26]Watch Old 97 roll
[01:04.00]And then a telegram come from Washington station
[01:11.54]This is how it read
[01:16.59]Oh that brave engineer that run Old 97
[01:23.47]Is lyin' in old Danville dead
[01:27.22]'Cause he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour
[01:34.84]The whistle broke into a scream
[01:38.65]He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
[01:50.91]Scalded to death by the steam
[01:58.31]One more time
[01:59.74]Oh now all you ladies you'd better take a warning
[02:09.11]From this time on and learn
[02:14.60]Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband
[02:20.18]He may leave you and never return poor boy
