G C
They give him his orders at Monroe Virginia
G D7
Saying Steve you're way behind time
G C
This is not 38 but this is Old 97
G D7 G
Put her in Spencer on time
C
Then he looked around and said to his black greasy fireman
G D7
Just shovel on a little more coal
G C
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
G D7 G
You can watch Old 97 roll
C
And when a telegram comes from Washington Station
G D7
And this is how it read
G C
Oh that brave engineers that run old 97
G D7 G
Is lying in old Danville dead
C
He was going down grade making 90 miles an hour
G D7
When his whistle broke into a scream
G C
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
G D7 G
And was scalded to death by the steam
C
Now ladies you must take warning
G D7
From this time on and learn
G C
Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband
G D7 G
He may leave you and never return
