Casey Jones

Come all you rounders if you want to 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 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 I'm gonna to 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 Bristol,but we'll all be dead

Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He blew at the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew
By the engine's moan that the man at the throttle is 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 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 poppa on the Salt Lake line

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
