Casey Jones (The Union Scab)

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear

The story of a brave engineer

Casey Jones was the rounder's 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 we're gonna reach 'Frisco but we'll all be dead

Casey pulled up that Reno hill

He flew at the crossing with an awful shrill

The switchman knew, by the engine's 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 they're two locomotives and they're bound to bump

Casey Jones, two locomotives

Casey Jones, and they're bound to bump

Casey Jones, two locomotives

Two locomotives and they're 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
