Come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story
about a brave engineer Casey Jones was the
roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his
fame Caller called Casey bout half past four. He
kissed his wife at the station door He climbed in
the cabin with his orders in his hand Said this is
the trip to the Promised Land
CHORUS Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey
Jones orders in his hand Casey Jones leanin' out
the window taking a trip to the Promised Land
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a
fallin' and the water was high Everybody knew by
the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was
Casey Jones Well Jones said, "Fireman now
don't you fret". Sim Webb said "We ain't
a givin' up yet. We're eight hours late with the
southbound mail. We'll be on time or we're leavin'
the rails." Casey Jones climbed in the
cabin...
Dead on the rail was a passenger train. Blood was
a boilin' in Casey's brain Casey said "Hey
now - look out ahead! Jump, Sim jump or we'll all
be dead!" With a hand on a whistle and a hand
on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake. The
IC railroad official said, "He's a good
engineer to be a laying dead." Casey Jones
climbed in the cabin...
Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain are
all the part of a railroad train. Sweat and toil,
the good and the grand are part of the life of a
railroad man. Casey Jones climbed in the cabin...
