THE WRECK OF THE OLD 97.
Capo 0

|G |C
They gave him his orders at Monroe Vaginia
|G |D
sayin` 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 |C
He turned and he said to his black greasy fireman
|G |D
let`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 |C
Was a mighty rough road from Lenburg to Danvill
|G |D
on 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 |C
He was comin` down the grade makin` ninety miles an hour
|G |D
his 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 |C
Well all you ladies had better take a warnin`
|G |D
from 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.
