ORIGINAL LYRICS:
(From the TV Series)
Stop,
look, listen ’cos you’re gonna hear
A brand new story ’bout a great engineer,
He’s the greatest of them all we claim
Number one’s his engine, Casey Jones his name.
Casey
Jones a steamin’ and a rollin’,
Casey Jones you never have to guess
When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle
It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express!
There’ll
be Casey Junior and old Redrock too,
Fireman Wally and the rest of the crew.
In a thrilling adventure that’s a lot of fun
When Casey takes the throttle for another run!
(Traditional Version)
Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name....
On the "six-eight" wheeler, boys, he won his fame
The caller called Casey at half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He mounted to the cabin with the orders in his hand
And he took his farewell trip to that promis'd land
Casey Jones--mounted to his cabin
Casey Jones--with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones--mounted to his cabin
And he took his last trip to that promis'd land
Oh Pour in the water and shovel in the coal
Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll
I'm gonna drive her til she leaves the rail
For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail
He turned to the fireman, said "Shovel on your coal
Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll
I'm gonna drive her til she leaves the rail
For I'm six hours late by that Western Mail"
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow
He looked at his water and his water was low
He turned to his fireman and this is what he said
"Boy, we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead"
Casey Jones—turned to the fireman
turned to the fireman and said – “we’re in trouble boy”
Casey Jones—said to the fireman
“we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead"
Now Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He whistled 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
There No. 4 stared him straight in the face
He turned to his fireman, said "Jim, you'd better jump
For there're two locomotives that are going to bump.
Casey Jones—said to the fireman
Whoa – “this is murder Jack”
Casey Jones—said to the fireman
“two locomotives are going to bump"
Casey said just before he died
"There're two more roads I would like to ride"
The fireman said "Which ones can they be?"
"O the Northern Pacific and the Santa Fe"
Mrs. Jones sat at her bed a sighing
Just to hear the news that her Casey was dying
"Hush up children, and quite your cryin'
You've 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
Got another poppa on the Salt - Lake - Line
