the new christy minstrels - casey jones lyrics

i’ll tell you a story all about john luther
mother jones’ pride and joy
how he come down here from casey town
he was a tennessee mountain boy
he loved the illinois central line and
the cabin down the memphis cannonball
and you can set your clock on casey’s whistle
you could hear his fireman call

casey jones, casey jones
i was stepping on down the line
you could hear his whistle for a hundred miles
here comes casey and he’s making up time

well, he climbed aboard at the memphis station
and the rain was falling down
the night was dark and from the yard
you couldn’t see the bright lights of town
number 638 began to growl like thunder
and the drivers began to roll
and the old conductor stuck his head out the wind’r
and he hollered “bless my soul”!

i swear it’s:
casey jones, casey jones
i was stepping on down the line
you could hear his whistle for a hundred miles
here comes casey and he’s making up time
it was on that grade down upon mississippi
on a side track clear by the main
casey looked out the wind’r an upon his line
he saw the cars of the big freight train
well he told his fireman that he ‘ought jump
it was going to be a terrible ride;
and he laid on the break
and he blew that whistle
and that’s how casey died

you know it’s:
casey jones, casey jones
i was stepping all over this land
that train was longer than a hundred miles;
casey died with a whistle in his hand

casey jones, casey jones
i was stepping on down the line
you could hear his whistle for a hundred miles
there goes casey he’s making up time
