Casey Jones
Was a brave engineer
He told his fireman to not to fear
Says
All I want
My water and my coal
Look out the window
See my drive wheel roll
Early one mornin' came a shower of rain
'Round the curve I seen a passenger train
In the cabin was Casey Jones
He's a noble engineer man but he's dead and gone
Children
Children
Get your hat
Mama
Mama
What you mean by that
Get your hat
Put it on your head
Go down in town
See if your daddy's dead
Mama
Mama
How can it be
My daddy got killed on the old I
C
Hush your mouth and hold your breath
You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead
Casey's wife
She got the news
She was sittin' on the bedside
She was lacin' up her shoes
I said
Go away
Children
And hold your breath
You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead
Casey said
Before he died
Fixed the
Blinds so the boys can't ride
If they ride
Let 'em ride the rod
Trust they lives in the hands of God
Casey said again
Before he died
One more road that he wanted to ride
People wondered what road could that be
The Gulf Colorado and the Santa Fe
Casey Jones was a brave engineer
He told his fireman to not to fear
Says
All I want
My water and my coal
Look out the window
See my drive wheel roll
