Casey Jones (Union Scab) |
Come all you rounders if you wanna hear |
The story of a brave engineer |
Casey Jones was the rounder’s 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 I’m gonna 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 I’m gonna take my trip to the Promised Land |
He looked at the water and the water was low |
He looked at his watch, the watch was slow |
He looked at the fireman, the fireman said |
Boy we’re gonna reach 'Frisco but we’ll all be dead |
Casey pulled up that Reno hill |
He flew at the crossing with an awful shrill |
The switchman knew, by the engine’s moan |
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones |
Casey got to that certain place |
Ol' number nine stared him straight in the face |
He said to the fireman, boy you better jump |
Cos they’re two 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 papa on the Salt Lake line |
Casey Jones, got another papa |
Casey Jones, on the Salt Lake line |
Casey Jones, got another papa |
Ya got another papa on the Salt Lake line |
