At Monroe Virginia

You must put her into Spencer on time

He looked round an' said

To his black greasy fireman

Jus' shove on in a lil' more coal

And when we cross that wide old mountain

You can watch old '97 roll

From Lynchburg to Danville

In a line on a three mile grade

With his hand on the throttle
