lirik lagu woody guthrie - the wreck of the old '97
well they gave him his orders at monroe, virginia, said: “steve, you’re way behind time, “this is not 38, this is ol’ 97, “put her into spencer on time.”
then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman, “shovel on a little more coal. “and when we cross that white oak mountain, “watch ol’ ’97 roll.”
and then a telegram come from washington station, this is how it read: “oh that brave engineer that run ol 97, “is lyin in old danville dead.”
‘cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour, the whistle broke into a scream. he was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle, scalded to death by the steam.
one more time!
oh, now all you ladies you’d better take a warning, from this time on and learn. never speak hard words to your true-lovin’ husband. he may leave you and never return. poor boy.
