Wreck of the Old 97

5 -5 6 6 5 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7

On one cloudless morning I stood on the mountain.

7 -6 6 7 7 -8 7 -6

Just a’watching the smoke below.

-6 -7 7 7 7 7 -5 -5 -6 -7

It was coming from a tall, slim smokestack

7 -6 6 6 -5 5 5 -4 4

Way down on the Southern Railroad.

6 7 7 -7 6 5 -5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 9
They give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
9 -7 7 9 -9 -9 9 -8
Sayin’, «Steve you’re way behind time
-7 7 9 9 9 9 5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 9
This is not 38, but it’s old 97
9 -7 7 -7 7 6 6 -5 5___
You must put her in Spencer on time»
(Repeat 6X)

Then he looked around and
Said to his black, greasy fireman
«Just shovel on a little more coal
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
You can watch old 97 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
Oh, you see what a jump we made

He was goin’ down the 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
And was scalded to death by the steam

Now ladies, you must take a warning
From this time on and learn
Never speak harsh words
To your true love or husband
He may leave you and never return

This plays with a blue grass arrangement, same Artist, run time
3:19.

WRECK OF THE OL’ 97
Here is another version of this classic song with a tab for
a C Harmonica.

Verse 1:
C C7

5 -5 6 6 6 5 4
Well they gave him is or-ders,

F

4 -5 5 -5 -6 7
In Mon-roe, Vir-gin-ia,

C G G7

-6 6 7 -8 -8 -8 -7
Say-in, «Steve, you’re way be-hind time.

C C7

-8 -8 7 7 7 7
This is not thir-ty-eight,

F

5 4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7
This is ol’ nine-ty-sev-en,

C G7 C

-6 6 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4
You must put her in Spen-cer on time.»

Verse 2:
C C7
Then he turned around and said,
F
To his black greasy fireman,
C G G7
«Hey, shovel on a little more coal.
C C7
And when we cross,
F
That White Oak Mountain,
C G7 C
Watch ol’ ninetyseven roll.»

Verse 3:
Well, it’s a mighty rough road,
From Lynchburg to Danville,
With a line on a three mile grade.
It was one that grade,
That he lost his airbrakes,
You shoulda seen what a jump he made.

Verse 4:

C C7 F

5 -5 6 5 4 -5 -5 -6 7
Now, then, la-dies, you must take warn-ing,

C G G7

-6 6 7 -8 7 -7
From this time on and learn.

C C7

-8 -8 7 7 7
Nev-er speak harsh words,

F

5 4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7
To your true lov-in’ hus-band,

C G7 C

-6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -4 4
He may leave you and nev-er re-turn.

5 -5 6 6 6 5 4
Well, they gave him his orders

4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7
In Monroe, Virginia,

-6 6 7 -8 -8 7 -7
Sayin, Steve, you’re way be-hind time.

-8 -8 7 7 7 7
This is not thirty-eight,

5 4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7
But its Old ninety-se-ven

-6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -4 4
You must put her in Spencer on time.

Well, he looked round and said
to his black, greasy fireman,
Just shovel on a little more coal,
And when we cross that White Oak Mountain
You can watch Old 97 go.

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 airbrake,
So you see what a jump he made.

He was goin’ down grade,
makin 90 miles an hour,
When his whistle broke into a scream.
He was found in the wreck
With his hand on the throttle,
And scalded to death by the steam.

Now the telegram came
Into Washington Station,
And this is what it said:
That brave engineer
That drove old 97
Is layin down in Danville, dead.

5 -5 6 5 4 -5 -5 -6 7
Now then, ladies, you must take warning,

-6 6 7 -8 7 -7
From this time on and learn,

-8 -8 7 7 7
Ne-ver speak harsh words

5 4 -5 -5 -5 -6 7
To your true lo-vin’ husband,

-6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -4 4
He may leave you and never re-turn.

(Or end it with )

-7 7 -8 7
ne-ver re-turn.

From the one who loves her so

Her tender lips (Her tender lips)
Are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

But I don’t care about Clifton Clowers
I’m gonna climb up on his mountain
I’m gonna take the girl I love

My worried shoes,

-5 -5 5 55 5 5 5 5 -5-5 -5
I looked all around and saw the sun shining down,
