Casey Jones Full Lyrics
[00:24.32] Come all you rounders if you wanna hear
[00:26.96] The story about a brave engineer
[00:29.90] Casey Jones was the roller's name
[00:32.49] On a 68 wheeler course he rolled to fame
[00:35.45] Caller called Casey bout half past four
[00:38.28] He kissed his wife at the station door
[00:41.09] He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
[00:43.65] Said, "This is the trip to the promised land"
[00:47.74] (Casey Jones) climbed in the cabin
[00:50.24] (Casey Jones) orders in his hand
[00:53.44] (Casey Jones) leanin' out the window
[00:55.34] Taking a trip to the promised land
[00:59.68]
[01:03.88] Through South Memphis, yards on a fly
[01:06.64] Rain been a fallin' and the water was high
[01:09.51] Everybody knew by the engine's moan
[01:11.97] That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
[01:17.52] Well, Jones said, "Fireman, don't you fret
[01:20.62] Sam Webb said I ain't a-givin' up yet
[01:23.34] We're eight hours late with the southbound mail
[01:26.36] Be on time or we're leavin' the rails"
[01:28.87] (Casey Jones) climbed in the cabin
[01:33.09] (Casey Jones) orders in his hand
[01:34.58] (Casey Jones) leanin' out the window
[01:37.42] Taking a trip to the promised land
[01:41.79]
[01:45.92] Dead on the rail was a passenger train
[01:48.68] Blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
[01:51.58] Casey said, "Hey, now look out ahead, Sam
[01:54.20] Jump, Sam, jump or we'll all be dead"
[02:00.10] With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake
[02:03.26] North Mississippi was wide awake
[02:06.03] I see railroad official said
[02:08.56] "He's a good engineer to be a laying dead"
[02:11.22] (Casey Jones) climbed in the cabin
[02:15.46] (Casey Jones) orders in his hand
[02:18.25] (Casey Jones) leanin' out the window
[02:19.99] Taking a trip to the promised land
[02:24.33]
[02:28.37] Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain
[02:30.96] Are all the part of a railroad train
[02:33.77] Sweat and toil, the good and the grand
[02:36.37] Are part of the life of a railroad man
[02:40.02] (Casey Jones) climbed in the cabin
[02:43.21] (Casey Jones) orders in his hand
[02:46.35] (Casey Jones) leanin' out the window
[02:47.74] Taking a trip to the promised land
[02:50.26]
