Old 97の事故
Well they gave him his orders in Monroe Virginia Sayin' Steve you're way behind time This is not 38, this is ole' 97 You must put her into Spencer on time
So he turned around and said to his black greasy fireman To shovel on a little more the coal And when we cross that White Oak Mountain You can watch ole' 97 roll
It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville It's a line on a three mile grade It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes You can see what a jump he made
