Pete Seeger - Casey Jones lyrics
[Pete Seeger - Casey Jones lyrics]
Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer casey Jones
Was the rounder's 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 we're gonna reach Bristol
But we'll all be dead
Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He blew at the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew by the engine's 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 Lake line 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
The story of a brave engineer casey Jones
Was the rounder's 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 we're gonna reach Bristol
But we'll all be dead
Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He blew at the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew by the engine's 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

And hush your cryin' you got another poppa
On the Salt Lake line 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
