F They give him his orders at B Monroe, Virginia,
Sayin', F \"Steve, you're way behind E7 time
This is F not 38, but it's Old B 97
You must F put her in E7 Spencer on F time.\"
Then he look around and said to his black, greasy fireman
\"Just shovel on a little more coal
Fnd when we cross that White Oak Mountain
You can watch Old 97 roll.\"
Fiddle break:
It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Banville
In a line on a three-mile grade
It was on that grade that he lost his airbrakes
Oh, you see what a jump he made.
Euitar break:
He was goin' down grade making 90 miles an hour
When his whistle broke into a scream
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
Fnd was scalded to death by the steam.
Fiddle break:
Now ladies, you must take warning
>From this time on and learn
Never speak harsh words to your true love or husband
He may leave you and never return.
