Casey Jones

[Verse 1]
Come on you rounders if you wanna hear
A story 'bout a real brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On an Eight-Six wheeler boys he won his fame
The boss called Casey 'bout half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land"

[Chorus]
Casey Jones
Mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones
His orders in his hand
Casey Jones
Mounted to the cabin
Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land"

[Verse 2]
Pour on thе water, boy, shovel the coal
Stick your hеad out the window watch the drivers roll
I've got to run her cause she leaves the rails
And I'm nine hours late with the western mail

[Verse 3]
Casey rolled up to the fateful place
Where ol' Number Nine looked him straight in the face
He hollered to his fireman "Boy, you better jump
'Cause there's another locomotive and we're bound to bump"

[Chorus]
Casey Jones
Mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones
His orders in his hand
Casey Jones
Mounted to the cabin
Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land"

[Chorus]
Casey Jones
Mounted to the cabin
Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land"
