1
Casey Jones was a brave engineer
2
He told his fireman to not to fear
3
Says, "All I want, my water and my coal
4
Look out the window, see me drive wheel roll"
5
Early one mornin' came a shower of rain
6
'Round the curve I seen a passenger train
7
In the cabin was Casey Jones
8
He's a noble engineer, man but he's dead and gone
9
Casey's wife, she got the news
10
She was sittin' on the bedside, she was lacin' up her shoes
11
Said, "Go away, children and hold your breath
12
You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead"
13
"Children, children, get your hat"
14
"Mama, Mama, what you mean by that?"
15
"Get your hat, put it on your head
16
Go down in town, see if your daddy's dead"
17
"Mama, mama, oh, how can it be?
18
My daddy got killed on the old I.C."
19
"Hush your mouth I said and hold your breath
20
You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead"
21
Casey said, before he died
22
Fixed the blinds so the boys can't ride
23
If they ride, let 'em ride the rod
24
Trust they lives in the hands of God
25
Casey Jones was a brave engineer
26
He told his fireman to not to fear
27
Says, "All I want, my water and my coal
28
Look out the window, see me drive wheel roll"
