Casey Jones (the Brave Engineer)

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear

The story bout a brave engineer

Casey Jones was the rounder's name

On a 68 wheeler boys he won his fame

The caller called Casey at a half past four

He kissed his wife at the station door

Mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand

And it took his final trip to the Promised Land

Casye Jones mounted to the cabin

Casey Jones with the orders in his hand

Casye Jones mounted to the cabin

And it took his final trip to the Promised Land

Put in your water and shovel your coal

Put your head out the window watch the drivers roll

I'll run her till she leaves the rails

Cause I made hours late with the western mail

He looked at his watch but the watch was slow

He looked at the water and the water was low

He looked at the fireman and then he said

We're gonna reach Frisco Buffalo'd be dead

Casey Jones gonna reach Frisco

Casey Jones Buffalo'd be dead

Casey Jones we're gonna reach Frisco

We're gonna reach Frisco Buffalo'd be dead

Casey pulled up that Reno hill

He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill

The switchman knew by the engine's moan

That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones

He pulled up within two miles of the place

There number four stared him straight in the face

He turned to his fireman said boy you'd better jump

Cause there's two locomotives that are going to bump

Casey Jones two locomotives

Casey Jones that's going to bump

Casey Jones two locomotives

There's two locomotives that's going to bump

Casey said just before he died

There're two more roads that I'd like to ride

The fireman said would that be

The Northern Pacific and the Santa Fe

Mrs Jones sat at on her bed a sighin'

Just to see the message that Casey was dyin'

Go to bed children and stop your cryin'

Cause daddy's still a ridin' that heavenly line

Casye Jones mounted to the cabin

Casey Jones with the orders in his hand

Casye Jones mounted to the cabin

And it took his final trip to the Promised Land
