Lyrics

Come all ye rounders, if you want'a hear The story of a brave ole engineer Casey Jones was the rounders name On a six eight wheeler he won his fame They called a call for Casey just a half-past four Casey kissed his wife at the station door Mounted to the cabin, with the order in his hand Then he took his farewell trip to the promised land CHORUS: Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin And he took his farewell trip to that promised land Put in the water and shovel in the coal Put your head out the window see the drivers roll For I'm going to drive 'er, till she leaves the rail For I'm eight hours late with the western mail He looked at the water and the water was low He turned to the fire and the water was slow He just had reached to the Reno hill When he jerked that whistle with a mighty thrill The switchman said that he knewd the way it moaned That the man at the throttle was a Casey Jones Casey Jones, he's a gwine't reach the Frisco Gwine't reach the Frisco but they'll all be dead Casey Jones, is a gwine'a reach the Frisco Gwine'a reach the Frisco but they'll all be dead He just had got within four miles of the place When old number four stare'd 'Im right in th face He turmed to the fireman, said, kid you'd better jump For there's two locomotives and their going to bump Casey Jones, and two locomotives Two locomotives and their going to bump Casey Jones, and two locomotives Two locomotives and their going to bump Miss Casey Jones setting upon the bedside When she received the message that her Casey had died Says, go to bed chillun and ahush your crying For you've got another poppy on the Salt Lake line Young Casey Jones, has got another poppy Got another poppy on the Salt Lake line Young Casey Jones he has got another poppy Got another poppy on the Salt Lake line
