letra de wreck of the old '97 - vernon dalhart
[instrumental intro]
[verse 1]
they give him his orders
at monroe, virginia
sayin’ pete “you’re way behind time
this is not ’38, but it’s old ’97
you must put her in spencer on time”
[verse 2]
he looked round an’ said
to his black, greasy fireman
“jus’ shove on in a lil’ more coal
and when we cross that wide old mountain
you can watch old ’97 roll”
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
it’s a mighty rough road
from lynchburg to danville
in a line on a three mile grade
it was on that grade
that he lost his air brake
and you see what a jump he made
[interlude]
-whistling-
[verse 4]
he was goin’ down grade
makin’ ninety mile an hour
when his whistle broke into a scream -train whistle-
he was found in the wreck
with his hand on the throttle
and a scalded to death with the steam
[verse 5]
now ladies you must take warnin’
from this time now and on
never speak harsh words
to your true love and husband
he may leave you and never return -train whistle-
[instrumental outro]
