[Bb]
Well, they gave him his [Eb] orders at Nono, [Bb] Virginia,
[F] Said, Steve, you're way behind time.
This is not [Bb] 38, this is old [Eb] 97,
Put her [F] in the dispenser [Bb] on time.
Then he turned around and said,
Should the black [Eb] grease department
[Bb] Shovel on a [F] little more coal?
And when [Bb] we cross [Eb] that white oak mountain,
[Bb] Watch old 97 roll.

And when a telegram come [Eb] from Washington Station,
[Bb] This is [F] how it read,
Oh, that brave engineer [Eb] that run old 97
Was [F] lying in old Danville,
[Bb] Thought he was going down a drain,
Making 90 miles an hour,
But was [F] so broken to a screen,
He was found [Bb] indirect,
With his hand on [Eb] the throttle,
Called it [F] to death by [Bb] the seam.
One more time.

Never speak hard [Eb] words,
To your dear loving husband,
He may [F] leave you and never return.

I want to thank you.
