Well they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Said Steve, youre way behind time,
This is not 38 ... this is Ole 97
Put her into Spencer on

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 Ole 97 roll

Break 1

And then a telegram came to Washington station
This is how it read
Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97
Is lyin in old Danville dead

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

Break 2

So now all you ladies ... you'd better take a warning
From this time on and learn.
Dont you speak hard words to your true lovin' husband
He may leave you and never return
