[00:03.81]On the 29th day of one November morning
[00:09.42]When the cloud was hangin' low
[00:15.42]97 pulled out from Washington city
[00:19.53]Like an arrow shot from the bow
[00:24.87]97 was the fastest mail train
[00:29.40]The South had ever seen
[00:33.93]And it run from New York by the way of Washington
[00:38.85]Through Atlanta down in New Orlean (sic)
[00:43.38]I was standing on the mount one cold and frosty morning
[00:48.78]Watching the smoke from below
[00:52.89]That were comin' from the funnel of that black and dusty engine
[00:57.84]Way down up on that Southern road
[01:02.28]It was 97, the fastest mail train
[01:07.29]That run the Southern line
[01:11.64]And when she pulled in, at Lynchburg, Virginia
[01:17.10]She was forty-seven minutes behind
[01:20.55]Steve Brady, he was an engineerah (sic)
[01:24.90]And a very brave man was he
[01:29.67]Well, there're many good men have lost their life
[01:34.47]For the railroad company
[01:38.61]When they give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
[01:43.35]Said,"Steve, you's way behind.
[01:47.76]This is not 38, but it's old 97, You must put her in Spencer on time."
[01:56.55]Steve, he smiled when he said to his black and dusty fireman
[02:01.95]"Throw me in a little more coal
[02:05.67]And as soon as we cross this White Oak Mountain
[02:10.28]You can watch my driver roll."
[02:14.46]It was mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville
[02:18.81]The line on a 3-mile grade
[02:23.28]It were on that hill where he lost his average
[02:27.87]You can see what a jump he made
[02:31.71]Steve come down that hill makin' 90 miles an hour
[02:36.81]His whistle began to scream
[02:40.83]Steve was found in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle
[02:45.42]And scalded to death by the steam
[02:48.72]Steve, he had a little wife and also two children
[02:54.00]Who were lyin' at home in bed
[02:58.08]They received the sad message saying,"Husband and father
[03:03.00]Now'm is lyin' in North Danville, dead."
[03:06.90]Now, ladies, you ought to let this be a warning
[03:11.76]This, from now and on
[03:15.48]Never speak hard words to your true lovin' husband
[03:19.98]They may leave you and never return
[00:09.42]When the cloud was hangin' low
