"Casey Jones"
Traditional - Adapted By James Coffey

Come all ye rounders, if you wanna hear
A story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On a big eight wheeler, he won his fame
Porter called Casey about half past four
Kissed his wife at the station door
Climb to the cab with his orders in his hand
As he took the final journey to the promise land
(Chorus)
Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin
As he took his final journey to the promise land
Rain was comin' down for five or six weeks
Track looked like the bed of a creek
It rated him down to a thirty mile gate
Made the southbound mail about eight hours late
Fireman says,"Casey you're runnin' too fast"
"You run the block board last station you passed"
Casey says, "Yes, but I think we'll make it through"
"'Cause this engine is a steamin' better than I ever knew"
(Chorus)
Casey looked at the water and the water was low
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow
He looked at the fireman and then he said
"We're gonna make it or end up dead"
Now Casey said,"Fireman don't you fret"
"Keep knockin' at the fire door and don't give up yet"
"We're gonna run her 'til she leaves the rail"
"Or make it on time with the southbound mail"
(Chorus)
Around the curb he spied a passenger train
Headlights shinin' in his eyes through the rain
Casey blew his whistle, a mighty blast
But the other locomotive was comin' fast
Casey says "Fireman you'd better jump"
"There's two locomotives and their gonna bump"
The fireman hollered, "It's just ahead!"
"We might jump and make it, but we'll all be dead"
