Utah Phillips wrote a parody of OLD 97;

"He was coming down the grade doing 7 miles an hour
'Cause his airbrakes were locked all the way,
They found him in the wreck with his hand on the bottle,
He raised his head these dying words to say.

If I ever get my hands on that featherbedding fireman,
There's gonna be a brawl I hope to tell,
'Cause he topped off my boiler with a half a pint of redeye,
And blowed the whoe shebang to Hell!"
