Wreck of the Old 97 - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
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
Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97
Is lyin in old Danville dead
'Cos he was going down a grade
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
The whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
Scalded to death by the steam
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
