come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story about a brave engineer
Casey jones was the rollers name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame
Caller called casey bout half past four he kissed his wife at the station door
He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said this is the trip to the promised land
Chorus
Casey jones climbed in the cabin casey jones orders in his hand
Casey jones leanin out the window taking a trip to the promised land
Through south memphis yards on a fly rain been a fallin and the water was high
Everybody knew by the engines moan that the man at the throttle was casey jones
Well jones said
"fireman now dont you fret" sim webb said "we aint a givin up yet
Were eight hours late with the southbound mail
Well be on time or were leavin the rails"
Casey jones climbed in the cabin
Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boilin in caseys brain
Casey said "hey now - look out ahead! jump
Sim jump or well all be dead!"
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north mississippi was wide awake
The ic railroad official said
"hes a good engineer to be a laying dead"
Casey jones climbed in the cabin
Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain are all the part of a railroad train
Sweat and toil
The good and the grand are part of the life of a railroad man
Casey jones climbed in the cabin
