Verse 1
(D major) Well, they gave him his orders
at (G major) Monroe, Virginia
Say (D major) ing, Steve,
you're way behind time (A major)
Because this ain't (D major) 38, it's (G major) old 97
You've (D major) got to put her into
Dan (A major) ville on time (D major)
And it's a mighty road
from Lynch (G major) burg down to Danville
(D major) on a line, on a three -mile grain (A major)
He was down (D major) that line, he lost (G major) his air brakes,
(D major) you can see what a (A major) jump he made (D major)
Well, Steve Grady said to his black, (G major)
greasy fireman,
just (D major) shovel on a little more coal (A major)
And when (D major) we pass them
white (G major) oak mountains
Just (D major) watch your (A major) 97 road (D major)
Cause it's a mighty rough road
From (G major) Lynchburg down to Danville
(D major) On a line, on a three mile (A major) grade
It was down (D major) that line he (G major) lost
His air brakes,
you can see (D major) what (A major) a jump he made
(D major) He was coming down the line,
making (G major) 90 miles an hour,
when the (D major) whistle broke into (A major) a scream
And they (D major) found him in the rank,
with his hand (G major) upon the throttle,
he'd been (D major) scolded (A major) to death by steam (D major)
It's a mighty rough road,
from (G major) Lynxburg to Danville
(D major) on a line, on a three (A major) mile rain
Down that (D major) line, he (G major) lost his air rakes
You can see (D major) what a (A major) jump he made (D major)
Come on now, all (G major) you ladies
From this (D major) time on (A major) now, learn
Don't (D major) ever say harsh words
To your true (G major) and loving husband
He may (D major) leave you (A major) and never return
(D major) It's a mighty rough road
From Leedsburg (G major) (D major) down to Dan (G major) ville
(D major) on a line
On a three -mile grade (A major)
Every town (D major) that line
He lost (G major) his air brakes,
(D major) you can see what a (A major) jump he made
(D major)
