Casey Jones
Come all you rounders for I want you to hear The story of a brave engineer Casey Jones was the rounder's name On an eight six-wheeler, boys, he won his fame Now the caller called Casey 'bout half-past four He kissed his wife at the station door He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand Said; "I'm gonna take my trip to the promised land" Casey Jones mounted to the cabin Casey Jones with his orders in his hand Casey Jones mounted to the cabin Said;"I'm gonna take tke my trip to the promised land Pour on the water boys, shobel on the coal Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll Gonna run her 'til she leaves the rail 'Cause I'm nine hours late with the western mail Now Casey passed out of South Menphis on the fly Heard the firemane say " Boy, you got a white-eye " The switchman knew by the engine's moan That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones * Refrain Now Casey got to that certain place Old number nine stared him straight in the face He said to fireman " Boy, you better jump Cause there's two locomotives and they're bound to bump" Well, Mrs.Casay 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 crying 'Cause you got another paper on the Salt Lake line" * Refrain
