They gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia sayin' Steve you're way behind time

This is not 38 but that's old 97 you must put her in Spencer on time

Then 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 roll

[ ac.guitar ]

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville with a line on a three mile grade

It was on that grade where he lost his airbrakes so you see what a jump he made

He was goin' down the grade making ninety miles an hour

When his whistle broke into a scream

He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle

A scalded to death by the steam

[ piano ]

Now ladies you must all take a warning from this time on and learn

Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband he may leave you and never return

  • Rhumba Boogie
    "Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat
    There's no hesitation it's sweepin' the nation
    It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way
    While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana..."
  • Im Movin On
    "That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
    Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
    'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
    You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky..."
  • The Golden Rocket
    "I was a good engine a-runnin' on time
    But baby I'm switchin' to another line
    So honey never hang your signal out for me
    I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track..."
  • Unwanted Sign Upon Your Heart

    Can't see, honey, why you done me wrong
    Hard luck sure has got me
    I can't sleep a wink..."
  • Music Makin Mama from Memphis
    "Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans..."
  • The Gold Rush Is Over
    "Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
    Stake out your claim now on some other guy
    I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
    But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on..."
  • I Dont Hurt Anymore
    "It don't hurt anymore
    All my teardrops are dried
    No more walkin' the floor
    With that burnin' inside..."
  • Would You Mind
    "Words & Music by Cy Coben

    Would you mind if my heart is beating so for you?..."
