The Wreck of the Old ’97 Lyrics


They gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia

Saying Steve you're way behind time

This is not 38 this is old 97

You must put her into Spencer on time


He turned around and said to his black greasy fireman

"Shovel on a little more coal

And when we cross that White Old Mountain

Watch old 97 roll"


And then a telegram came to Washington station

This is how it read:

It said, "That brave engineer that has run old 97

Is lying down in Danville, dead"


He was going down the grade making 90 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


So now all you pretty ladies you better take a warning

From this time on and learn

Don't you speak hard words to your true lover husband

He may leave you and never return

(Troubadour, troubadour, troubadour), The troubadour, the troubadour, Sings from his heart, the song that's the hit of the show, Watch him sing and play the strings of his guitar, Alone in the bright spotlight's glow, The song was for someone he loves so true, Who loved him and left him for someone …

Don’t Take Your Guns to Town feat. []

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm, A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm, He changed his clothes and shined his boots, And combed his dark hair down, And his mother cried as he walked out, Don't take your guns to town son, Leave your guns at home, Bill, Don't t…

I’d Rather Die Young

I'd rather die young than grow old without you, So don't ever leave me whatever you do, To see someone's picture where my picture hung, Believe me my darling I'd rather die young, I'd rather die young than grow old without you, So don't ever leave me whatever you do, Though others may tempt you and …

Shepherd of My Heart feat. []

You're the shepherd of my heart so treat it tenderly, It's a heart that needs your everloving care, You're the shepherd of my heart until eternity lead it not into the valley of despair, While it's in your keeping guard it with your love, Shelter it from harm along life's way, You're the shepherd of…

One More Ride feat. []

I long for a trip, I don't need no grip I'm taking one more ride, Way out there in the prairie air, I guess it's in my hide, Oh, the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin', If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam, And the big loud bell that bongs farewell could…
