作词：佚名

作曲：Traditional

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

Poor Boy
