Casey Jones he was a mighty man

But now he's resting in the promised land

The kind of music he could understand

Was an eight wheel driver under his command



[Refrain:]

He made the freight train boogie

All the time

He made the freight train boogie

As he rolled down the line



When the fireman started ringing the bell

Everybody hung around to tell

Casey Jones was a coming to town, on a six

Eight wheeler that was flat on the ground



[Refrain]
