They gave him his orders at monroe virginia
Sayin steve you're way behind time
It's 8 38 and it's the old 97
Gotta put her into danville on time
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his air brakes
You can see what a jump he made
Steve brady he said to his black greasy fireman
Shovel on a little more coal
I'm waitin to pass them wide open mountains
Gonna see the old 97 roll
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his air brakes
You can see what a jump he made
He's coming down that line makin ninety miles an hour
The whistle broke into a scream
They found him in the wreck
with his hand upon the throttle
He'd been scalded to death by steam
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his air brakes
You can see what a jump he made
Well come on now all you ladies
From this time on now learn
Don't you ever say harsh words
to your true lovin husband
He'll leave you and never return
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his air brakes
You can see what a jump he made
Well he's coming down that line
making ninety miles an hour
And the whistle broke into a scream
They found him in the wreck with
his hand upon the throttle
He'd been scalded to death by steam
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his air brakes
You can see what a jump he made
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his airnbrakes
You can see what a jump he mad
Well it's a mighty rough road from
lynchburg down to danville
On a line with a three mile grade
It was down that line where he lost his airnbrakes
You can see what a jump he mad
