4
Come all you rounders if you want to hear
5
The story of a brave engineer
6
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
7
On the "six-eight" wheeler, boys, he won his fame
8
The caller called Casey at half past four
9
He kissed his wife at the station door
10
He mounted to the cabin with the orders in his hand
11
And he took his farewell trip to that promis'd land
12
Casey Jones, mounted to his cabin
13
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand
14
Casey Jones, mounted to his cabin
15
And he took his land
16
He looked at his water and his water was low
17
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow
18
He turned to his frieman and this is what he said
19
"Boy, we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead"
20
He turned to the fireman, said "Shovel on your coal
21
Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll
22
I'm gonna drive her til she leaves the rail
23
For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail"
24
Casey Jones, I'm gonna drive her
25
Casey Jones, til she leaves the rail
26
Casey Jones, I'm gonna drive her
27
For I'm eight
28
When he pulled up that Reno hill
29
He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill
30
The switchman knew by the engine's moan
31
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
32
When he was within six miles of the place
33
There No. 4 stared him straight in the face
34
He turned to his fireman, sai "Jim, you'd better jump
35
For there're two locomotives that are going to bump.
36
Casey Jones, two locomotives
37
Casey Jones, going to bump
38
Casey said just before he died
39
"There're two more roads I would like to ride"
40
The fireman said "Which ones can they be?"
41
"O the Northern Pacific and the Santa Fe"
42
Mrs. Jones sat at her bed a sighing
43
Just to hear the news that her Casey was dying
44
"Hush up children, and quite your cryin'
45
For you've got another poppa on the Salt Lake Line
