They give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia Sayin', Steve
youre way behind time This is not Thirty-Eight, but its
old
Ninety-Seven
You
must
put
her
in
Spencer
on
time Then he looked 'round and said to his black greasy fireman Just
shovel
in
a
little
more
coal
And
when
we
cross
that
white
oak
mountain
You
can
watch
old
Ninety-Seven
roll It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville In a line on a three mile grade It was on that grade where he lost his airbrakes So you see what a jump he made He was goin' down grade makin' ninety miles an hour And his whistle broke into a scream He was found in the wreck, with his hand on the throttle And scalded to death by the steam Now, ladies, you must all take warning From this time on and learn Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband He may leave you and never return
