Lyrics Casey Jones - Mississippi John Hurt
Casey
Jones
Was
a
brave
engineer,
He
told
his
fireman
to
not
to
fear
Says,
"All
I
want,
my
water
and
my
coal
Look
out
the
window,
see
my
drive
wheel
roll"
Early
one
mornin'
came
a
shower
of
rain,
'Round
the
curve
I
seen
a
passenger
train
In
the
cabin
was
Casey
Jones,
He's
a
noble
engineer
man
but
he's
dead
and
gone
"Children,
children,
get
your
hat"
Mama,
mama,
what
you
mean
by
that?"
"Get
your
hat,
put
it
on
your
head,
Go
down
in
town,
see
if
your
daddy's
dead"
"Mama,
mama,
how
can
it
be?
My
daddy
got
killed
on
the
old
I.C.
"Hush
your
mouth
and
hold
your
breath,
You're
gonna
draw
a
pension
after
your
daddy's
dead"
Casey's
wife,
she
got
the
news,
She
was
sittin'
on
the
bedside,
She
was
lacin'
up
her
shoes
I
said,
"Go
away,
children,
and
hold
your
breath,
You're
gonna
draw
a
pension
after
your
daddy's
dead"
Casey
said,
before
he
died,
Fixed
the
Blinds
so
the
boys
can't
ride
If
they
ride,
let
'em
ride
the
rod,
Trust
they
lives
in
the
hands
of
God"
Casey
said
again,
before
he
died,
One
more
road
that
he
wanted
to
ride
People
wondered
what
road
could
that
be?
The
Gulf
Colorado
and
the
Santa
Fe
Casey
Jones
was
a
brave
engineer,
He
told
his
fireman
to
not
to
fear
Says,
"All
I
want,
my
water
and
my
coal
Look
out
the
window,
see
my
drive
wheel
roll"
