Come all you rounders
if you want to hear a story
about a brave engineer say
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
and on a 6 -8 wheel
a boys he won his fame
Call a call
Casey at half past four
kissed his wife at the station door
mounted to the cabin
with his orders in his hand
and took his farewell trip
to the promised land
K .C. Jones mounted to the cabin,
K .C. Jones with his orders in his hand,
K .C. Jones mounted to the cabin,
mounted to the cabin
with his orders in his hand
Oh, put in your water and
shovel in your coal,
put your head out the window,
boys, watch them drivers roll
I'm going to run her till
she leaves the rail,
cause I'm six hours late
with the Westerhurt mail
He looked at his watch and
his watch was slow,
he looked at his water
and his water was low
Turned to the fireman and he said,
We're gonna reach a frisco
but we'll all be dead
Casey Jones,
we're gonna reach a frisco
Case y Jones, but we'll all be dead
Casey Jones,
we're gonna reach a frisco
We're gonna reach a frisco
but we'll all be dead
Now Casey pulled up that Reno hill
Tooted for the crossing with an awful shrill
So which man knew by
the engine's moan
That the man at the throttle
was Casey Jones
Pulled up within two miles of the place,
number four stared her right in the face
Turned to the farm and said,
boy you better jump,
cause there's two locomotives
that's a -goin' to bump up
Casey Jones, two locomotives,
Casey Jones and a -goin' to bump
Casey Jones, two locomotives,
two locomotives
and a -goin' to bump
Casey said just before he died,
two more roads I'd like to ride
Firemen said what might they be,
the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
Mrs. Jones sat on her bed a -cryin',
just received a message that
her Casey man was dyin'
Said go to bed, children,
and hush your cryin',
cause you got another papa
on the Salt Lake Line
KC Jones,
you got an
other
popper,
KC Jones on the Salt Lake
line.
