Casey Jones - Pete Seeger

Casey Jones

Come all you rounders

If you want to hear

The story of a brave engineer

Casey Jones

Was the rounders name

On the big six wheeler

Boys he made his fame

Well 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 Im gonna to take my trip

To the promised land

Casey Jones

Stepped into the cabin

Casey Jones

Orders in his hand

Casey Jones

Stepped into the cabin

Said Im gonna to take my trip

To the promised land

He looked at the water and

The water was low

He looked at his watch

His watch was slow

He looked at the fireman

The fire and said

Boy were gonna reach Bristol

But well all be dead

Casey pulled up That Reno hill

He blew at the crossing

With an awful shrill

The switchman knew

By the engines moan

That the man at the throttle

Was Casey Jones

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

Casey Jones

Two locomotives

Casey Jones

And they’re bound to bump

Casey Jones

Two locomotives

Two locomotives

And they’re bound to bump

Well, Mrs. Casey Jones

She sat there on the bed

She got the telegram

That her poor husband was dead

She said Go to bed children

And hush your cryin

You got another poppa

On the Salt Lakeline

Casey Jones

Got another poppa

Casey Jones

On the Salt Lake Line

Casey Jones

Got another poppa

You got another poppa

On the Salt Lake Line
