The Wreck of the Old '97 - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
Well they gave him his orders at Monroe Virginia
他们对梦露弗吉尼亚发号施令
Said Steve you're way behind time
说斯蒂夫已经落伍了
This is not 38 this is Old '97
这不是38,而是老式97枪
Put her into Spencer on time
让她准时到斯宾塞
Then he turned around and said to his black
然后他转身对
Greasy fireman
胖胖的黑人锅炉工说
Shovel on a little more coal
多加点煤
And when we cross that White Oak mountain
当我们开过白象山
Watch Old '97 roll
看着97枪
But it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville
从林奇堡到丹维尔道路起伏不平
With a line on a three mile grade
路线长达3英尺
It was on that grade
在路上
That he lost his air brakes see what a jump he made
他刹车失灵,吓了一大跳
He was goin' down the grade makin' 90 miles an hour his whistle broke into a scream
他以90迈的速度沿着这条街行驶,口哨变成了尖叫声
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
人们在废墟中发现他,手还在蒸汽阀上
A scalded to death by the steam
被蒸汽烫得面目全非
Oh now all you ladies you'd better take a warning
女士们要从中得到警示
From this time on and learn
吸取教训
Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband
不要和你珍爱的丈夫说狠话
He may leave you and never return
他会离开你,不再回来
