Lyrics

Come all you rounders, if you want to hear a story about a brave engineer. Casey Jones was the rounder's name. On a 6-8 wheel, ah boys, he won his

fame. The caller called Casey at a half past four. Kissed his wife at the station door. Mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand, and he took

his farewell trip to that promised land. Casey Jones 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. Casey Jones 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 your water and shovel in your coal. Put your head out the window, watch them drivers roll. I'll run her till she leaves the rail, 'cause I'm eight

hours late with that Western mail. He looked at his watch and the watch was slow. He looked at the water and the water was low. He turned to the

fireman and he said, "We're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead." Casey Jones going to reach Frisco. Casey Jones, but we'll all be dead. Casey Jones going

to reach Frisco. We're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead. Casey Jones- Going to reach Frisco. Casey Jones- But we'll all be dead. Casey Jones- Going to

reach Frisco. We're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead.

Casey pulled up that Reno hill. He suited for the crossing with an awful shrill. The switchman knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey

Jones. He pulled up within two miles of the place. Number four stared him right in the face. Turned to the fireman, said, "Boy, you'd better jump, 'cause there's two

locomotives that are going to bump." Casey Jones, two locomotives. Casey Jones, that are going to bump. Casey Jones, two locomotives. There's two locomotives that are going to bump. Casey

Jones, two locomotives. Casey Jones, that are going to bump. Casey Jones, two locomotives. There's two locomotives that are going to bump.

Casey said just before he died, "There's two more roads that I'd like to ride." Fireman said, "What can they be?" He said, "The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe."

Mrs. Jones sat on her bedside. Just received a message that Casey was dyin'. Said, "Go to bed, children, and hush your cryin', 'cause you got another papa on the

Salt Lake line." Mrs. Casey Jones- Got another papa. Mrs. Casey Jones- On that Salt Lake line. Mrs. Casey Jones got another papa, and you've got another papa on that

Salt Lake line
