Casey Jones (1954) |
Casey Jones |
Come all you rounders |
If you want to hear |
The story of a brave engineer |
Casey Jones |
Was the rounders name |
On the big six wheeler |
Boys he made his fame |
Well the caller called Casey |
Bout half past four |
He kissed his wife |
At the station door |
He stepped into the cabin |
With the orders in his hand |
Said Im gonna to take my trip |
To the promised land |
Casey Jones |
Stepped into the cabin |
Casey Jones |
Orders in his hand |
Casey Jones |
Stepped into the cabin |
Said Im gonna to take my trip |
To the promised land |
He looked at the water and |
The water was low |
He looked at his watch |
His watch was slow |
He looked at the fireman |
The fire and said |
Boy were gonna reach Bristol |
But well all be dead |
Casey pulled up That Reno hill |
He blew at the crossing |
With an awful shrill |
The switchman knew |
By the engines moan |
That the man at the throttle |
Was Casey Jones |
Casey got to that certain place |
Old Number Nine |
Stared him straight in the face |
He said to the fireman |
Boy, you’d better jump |
Cause there are 2 locomotives |
And they’re bound to bump |
Casey Jones |
Two locomotives |
Casey Jones |
And they’re bound to bump |
Casey Jones |
Two locomotives |
Two locomotives |
And they’re bound to bump |
Well, Mrs. Casey Jones |
She sat there on the bed |
She got the telegram |
That her poor husband was dead |
She said Go to bed children |
And hush your cryin |
You got another poppa |
On the Salt Lakeline |
Casey Jones |
Got another poppa |
Casey Jones |
On the Salt Lake Line |
Casey Jones |
Got another poppa |
You got another poppa |
On the Salt Lake Line |
