Текст песни The Wreck of the Old '97 - Pete Seeger
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
One
more
time!
Oh,
now
all
you
ladies
you'd
better
take
a
warning
From
this
time
on
and
learn
Never
speak
hard
words
to
your
true-lovin'
husband
He
may
leave
you
and
never
return
Poor
boy
