Casey Jones (Remastered)

歌詞

Come all you rounders, if you want to hear A story about a brave engineer Now Casey Jones was the rounder's name On a 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 his orders in his hand Took his farewell trip to the Promised Land Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin Took his farewell trip to the Promised Land "Put in your water and shovel in your coal Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll I'll run her 'til she leaves the rails 'Cause I'm eight hours late with the Western mail" He looked at his watch and his watch was slow He looked at the water and the water was low He turned to the fireman and then he said "We're gonna reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead" Casey Jones, gonna reach Frisco Casey Jones, but we'll all be dead Casey Jones, gonna reach Frisco We're gonna reach Frisco but we'll all be dead Casey pulled up at the Reno Hill He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill Switchman could knew by the engine's moan That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones He pulled up within two miles of the place Number Four was staring him right in the face He turned to the fireman, said, "Boy, you better jump 'Cause there's two locomotives that are going to bump" Casey Jones, two locomotives Casey Jones, that are going to bump Casey Jones, two locomotives There's two locomotives that are going to bump Casey said just before he died There's two more roads that he wanted to ride The fireman said, "What can they be?" "It's the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe" Mrs. Jones had on her feathers fine Just received the message that Casey was dyin' Said, "Go to bed, chillen, and hush your cryin' 'Cause you got another Papa on the Salt Lake line" Mrs. Casy Jones, got another Papa Mrs. Casey Jones, on the Salt Lake line Mrs. Casey Jones, got another Papa Got another Papa on the Salt Lake line
