Pete Seeger - Casey Jones lyrics

Your rating:

Casey Jones
Come all you rounders
If you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones
Was the rounders 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, his watch was slow
He looked at the fireman, the fire and 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 engines moan
That the man at the throttle 
Was 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 theyre 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 Lakeline
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
