Lyrics

Jane bowers/dave guard

Chorus:
Buddy, better get on down the line (repeat), here comes ninety-seven, making up some time
Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back. got a ton of coal poured down the stack
Here comes ninety-seven, runnin' down the track

Hey, hey, pretty baby, hey, hey. baby, now don't get in my way
When I'm in town, you call me sugar, honey. when I'm gone, just run around and play

Buddy, better get on down the line (repeat), here comes ninety-seven, comin' in on time
Met a lot of weather early today. makin' up an hour and a quarter delay
Here comes ninety-seven, roarin' all the way

Roll on, pretty baby, roll on. you know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You mess around too long and now I'm leavin'. bye-bye, adios, farewell, so long

(Chorus, twice)
