Song Lyrics

Come all you people if you want to hear
A story about a brave engineer
Casey jones was that man
On a six to eight wheeler he wanted fame

They called old casey bout a half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand
And took a little trip into the promised land

Casey jones, mounted to the cabin
Casey jones, his orders in his hand
Casey jones, mounted to the cabin
took a little trip into the promised land

Put in your water
Shovel your coal
Look out the window watch the drivers roll
Run her boys till she leaves the rail
Cos I'm eight hours late with my southern mail

He looked at his watch, his watch was slow
He looked at the water and the water was low
He called to the stocker and he said
We're bound to reach denver but we'll all be dead

Casey jones, bound to reach denver
Casey jones, we'll all be dead
Casey jones, bound to reach denver
We're bound to reach denver but we'll all be dead

Now casey pulled out that neat old hill
He whistled at the crossing with an awful shrill
Switch man knew from the engine's moan
That the man that was driving was casey jones

He pulled out within two miles of the place
Old number four staring right in the face
He turned to the foreman oh you better jump
There's two locomotives that's going to bump

Casey jones, two locomotives
Casey jones, that's going to bump
Casey jones, two locomotives
There's two locomotives that's going to bump

Casey said just before he died
That tomorrow he's like to ride
Foreman said what can they be
-

Casey's wife lay on the bed crying
Just to see the message casey was dying
Called to the children hush your crying
You've got another papa on the salt lake line

Old mrs. jones, got another papa
Old mrs. jones, salt lake line
Old mrs. jones, got another papa
got another papa on the salt lake line
