Well they gave him

his orders at Monroe Virginia

Sayin' Steve

you're way behind time

This is not 38

this is old 97 you must

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 old 97 roll

Then the telegram

come to Washington

Station and this is

how it read

Oh that brave engineer

that run old 97

He's a layin'

in old Danville dead

He was goin'

down the grade makin' 90

Miles an hour his

whistle broke into a scream

He was found

in the wreck with his

Hand on the throttle

A scalded to death by the steam

So now all you ladies you better

Take a warnin' from this time

on and learn

Never speak harsh words to

Your true lovin' husband

He may leave you and never return
