They Gave Him His Orders At Monroe Virginia Saying’
Steve You’re Way Behind Time
This Is Not 38 This Is Old 97
Put Her Into Spencer On Time
Well He Turned Around
And Said To His Big Greasy Fireman
Hey Shovel On A Little More Coal
And When We Cross That White Oak Mountain Watch Old 97 Roll
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 Brakes See
What A Jump We Made
He Was Going’ Down
The Grade Making 90 Miles An Hour
His Whistle Broke Into A Scream
He Was Found In The Wreck With His Hand On The Throttle
A Scalded To Death By The Steam
Now All You Ladies
You Better Take A Warning From This Time On And Learn
Never Speak Harsh Words
To Your True Loving’ Husband
He May Leave You And Never Return
