Loading...

casey jones was an old engineer
he told his fireman to not to fear
“all i want is my water and my coal
look out the window, seeing my drive+wheel roll”

early one morning, came shower’ rain
round the curve, i seen a passenger train
in the cabin was casey jones
he’s a n0ble engineer, but he’s dead and gone

casey’s wife, she got the news
she was sitting on the bedside, lacin’ up her shoes
said, “go away children, and hold your breath
you’re going to draw a pension at your daddy’s death”
“children, childrеn, get your hat”
“mama, oh, mama, oh, what you mean by that?”
“get your hat, put it on your hеad
go down in town, see if you’re daddy’s dead”

“mama, oh, mama, how can it be
my daddy got k!lled on the old [i+c?]?”
“hush your mouths, i said, and hold your breath
you’re going to draw a pension at your daddy’s death”

casey said, before he died
“fix the head+blind, so the bums can’t ride
if they ride, let’m ride the rod
trust their lives in the hands of god”

casey said again, before he died
one more road that he’d wanted to ride
people wonder, “what road could that be?”
t’was the gulf of colorado, and the sante fe

he said, before he died
“fix the head+blind, so the bums can’t ride
if they ride, let’m ride the rod
trust their lives in the hands of…”
