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."
And 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 old '97 roll."
And then a telegram come from Washington station
This is what it said
It said that brave engineer that run old 97
Is lyin' down in Danville dead, poor boy
Said, "Steve, you're way behind time
This is not 38, this is ol' 97
Put her into Spencer on time."
And 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 old '97 roll."
And then a telegram come from Washington station
This is what it said
It said that brave engineer that run old 97
Is lyin' down in Danville dead, poor boy
