G CThey gave him his orders at Monroe Vaginia
G Dsayin' Steve your way behind the time
- G C
this is not thirty eight this is old ninety seven
G D G you must pull her into Spencer on time.
G CHe turned and he said to his black greasy fireman
G Dlet's shovel on a little more coal
- G C
and when we cross that wide oak mountain
G D G just watch old ninety seven roll.
G CWas a mighty rough road from Lenburg to Danvill
G Don a climb with a three mile grade
- G C
it was on that grade that he lost his air brakes
G D G see what a jump he made.
G CHe was comin' down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour
G Dhis whistle broke into a scream
- G C
he was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
G D G scalded to death by the steam
G CWell all you ladies had better take a warnin'
G Dfrom this time on and learn
- G C
never speak harsh words to your true love or husband
G D G he may leave you and never re-turn.
