Casey Bill

歌詞

Now down the river came Steamboat Bill Spies Casey Jones coming over the hill The engine was puffing and the boiler was hot While the folks on board did the turkey trot The railroad ran along side the bank Casey crawled out from behind the tank Bill said to Casey, "You're a racing man" Get up your steam and go as fast as you can" Now Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Casey and Bill, all full of glee Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Trying to break the record of the Robert E. Lee Now down the river about a mile below There was a bridge where they had to go They both were running 'bout neck and neck When they reached this bridge there's gonna be a wreck Casey reached up, the whistle he blew The drawbridge opened for to let him through They both came together and they both must die Because the race was over and it was a tie Now Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Casey and Bill, all full of glee Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Trying to break the record of the Robert E. Lee Now in the wreck it was a shame Was no one that knew their name When the wives got the message their husbands were dead They both raised the river with the tears they shed The little kids didn't seem to bother When someone told them that they lost their father One said to the other, "Don't cry and fret We don't need no Daddy, Ma's a suffragette" Now Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Casey and Bill, all full of glee Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Trying to break the record of the Robert E. Lee And when they died, no one know Up to heaven is where they wanted to go Saint Peter says, "Boys, you must relate Something good that you've done to put you through this gate" Bill says, "I know at one time I gave twenty cents to a man who was blind" Saint Peter says, "You know, that don't go Bill So you can take your twenty cents and go to Jeffersonville" Now Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Casey and Bill, all full of glee Casey and Bill, down the Mississippi Trying to break the record of the Robert E. Lee
