Casey Jones

Casey Jones - Pete Seeger/The Union Boys

Written by：Traditional/Newton/Sieber

Come all you rounders

If you want to hear

The story of a brave engineer

Casey Jones

Was the rounder's name

On the great six wheeler

Boys he made his fame

Now the caller called Casey

'Bout half past four

He kissed his wife

At the station door

He stepped into the cabin

With the orders in his hand

Said I'm gonna to take my trip

To the promised land

Now

Casey Jones

Casey Jones

Casey Jones

Said I'm gonna to take my trip

To the promised land

Put in your water and shovel in your coal

Take your head out the window while the drivers roll

I'll run her 'till she leaves the rails

For I'm eight hours late with the western mail

Now casey parls started self

Memphis on the fire

Heard the fireman said to boy you are gonna high hieght

The switchman knew

By the engine's moan

That the man at the throttle

Was Casey Jones

Casey Jones

Casey Jones

Casey Jones

That the man at the throttle

Was Casey Jones

Now Casey got to that certain place

Old Number Nine

Stared him straight in the face

He said to the fireman

Boy you'd better jump

'Cause there are 2 locomotives

And they're bound to bump

Mrs Casey Jones she sat on her bed

She got the telegram that her husband was dead

Said Go to bed children and hush your cryin'

'Cuz you got another pappa on the salt lake mine

Mrs Casey Jones

Casey Jones

Casey Jones

And you got another Pappa on the salt lake mine
