Sayin' Steve you're way behind time

Put her into Spencer on time

Then he turned around and said to

His black greasy fireman shovel on a little more coal

And when we cross

That White Oak Mountain watch old 97 roll

And then the telegram come to

Oh that brave engineer that run old 9

Cause he was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles

An hour his whistle broke into a scream

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

He may leave you and never return
