Casey Jones was a brave engineer

He told his fireman to not to fear

Says All I want my water and my coal

Look out the window see me drive wheel roll

Early one mornin came a shower of rain

Round the curve I seen a passenger train

In the cabin was Casey Jones

He's a noble engineer man but he's dead and gone

Children children get your hat

Mama Mama what you mean by that?

Get your hat put it on your head

Go down in town see if your daddy's dead

Mama mama oh, how can it be?

My daddy got killed on the old I.C.

Hush your mouth I said and hold your breat

You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead"

Caseys wife she got the news

She was sittin on the bedside she was lacin up her shoes

Said Go away children and hold your breath

You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead

Casey said, before he died

Fixed the blinds so the boys can't ride

If they ride, let em ride the rod

Trust they lives in the hands of God

Casey Jones was a brave engineer

He told his fireman to not to fear

Says All I want my water and my coal

Look out the window see me drive wheel roll
