๐ Lyrics
They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
Sayin', "Steve you're way behind time
This is not Thirty-Eight
This is ol' Ninety-Seven
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 ol' Ninety-Seven 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 airbrakes
You see what a jump he made
He was going down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour
His whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck, with his hand on the throttle
Scalded to death by the steam
Well now all you ladies you better take a-warnin'
From this time on and learn
Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband
He may leave you and never return
Sayin', "Steve you're way behind time
This is not Thirty-Eight
This is ol' Ninety-Seven
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 ol' Ninety-Seven 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 airbrakes
You see what a jump he made
He was going down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour
His whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck, with his hand on the throttle
Scalded to death by the steam
Well now all you ladies you better take a-warnin'
From this time on and learn
Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband
He may leave you and never return
