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)
