Casey Jones (The Union Scab)
Come all you rounders if you wanna 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 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 take my trip to the Promised Land
He looked at the water and the water was low
He looked at his watch, the watch was slow
He looked at the fireman, the fireman said
Boy were gonna reach Frisco but well all be dead
Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He flew 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
Ol number nine stared him straight in the face
He said to the fireman, boy you better jump
Cos theyre two locomotives and theyre bound to bump
Casey Jones, two locomotives
Casey Jones, and theyre bound to bump
Casey Jones, two locomotives
Two locomotives and theyre 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 papa on the Salt Lake line
Casey Jones, got another papa
Casey Jones, on the Salt Lake line
Casey Jones, got another papa
Ya got another papa on the Salt Lake line
