The Alternate Words to Wreck of the Old 97 Well...She was comin' 'round the corner 'bout 90 miles an hour When the wheel on her bicycle broke She was found in the grass with a wheel up her ass And her kidney playin' Dixie on the spokes

@@popev3887 That is a different song, using the same melody. Whoever wrote the song about the MTA lifted the melody.

Please turn the sound up on this.

Read the story many years ago in READER'S DIGEST. SIM WEBB was the Fireman's name . He died in 1935, I believe. He often said;"only reason I'm alive Casey threw me out the cab door..........saved my life."

That was a different wreck and song. Steve Broady was the engineer on the old 97, which crashed in Danville Virginia in 1903.

Heresy it may be but it's my belief that Sonny was a more advanced banjoist than Earl. Superb technique & 'ear'.

[@miketerry4972]

I think the world of Osborne brothers, but no one can beat Hank Snow on this song.

[@thomassyverson7561]

Good version.Remember though,the protagonist was SCALDED to death and died HORRIBLY.

[@christopherheidrich1432]

I love the song, thought it was from Johnny Cash. So one version of him is my favorite. Who is the original from?
