If you want to play along with the recording, you have to tune up your guitar 3/4 (or 1/4 with the capo on 1st fret). This will match Luther's tuning.
Intro
A D Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia. A E Said, "Steve, you're way behind time. A D This is not Thirty-Eight, this is old Ninety-Seven. A E A Put her into Spencer on time". Well he turned around and said to his big, greasy fireman, Hey "shovel on a little more coal. And when we cross that White Oak Mountain, Watch old Ninety-Seven 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, You'd see what a jump he made. He was going down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour. His whistle broke into a scream. He was found in the wreck, with his hand on the throttle, scalded to death by the steam. Now all you ladies you better take a warnin', From this time on and learn Never speak harsh words to your true lovin' husband he may leave you and never return. |This verse wasn't in the original Sun-recording,| |but Johnny sings it in the San Quentin version. | |So here it is (3rd verse). | And then a telegram came from Washington station, this is how it read: "Oh that brave engineer that run old Ninety-Seven, is lyin' in old Danville dead".
