Casey Jones (The Union Scab)

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On the big six-wheeler boys he made his fame

Well the caller called Casey 'bout half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He stepped into the cabin with the orders in his hand
Said I'm gonna take my trip to the Promised Land

Casey Jones, stepped into the cabin
Casey Jones, orders in his hand
Casey Jones, stepped into the cabin
Said I'm gonna take my trip to the Promised Land

He looked at the water and the water was low
He looked at his watch, the watch was slow
He looked at the fireman, the fireman said
Boy we're gonna reach 'Frisco but we'll all be dead

Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He flew at the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew, by the engine's moan
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones

Casey got to that certain place
Ol' number nine stared him straight in the face
He said to the fireman, boy you better jump
Cos they're two locomotives and they're bound to bump

Casey Jones, two locomotives
Casey Jones, and they're bound to bump
Casey Jones, two locomotives
Two locomotives and they're bound to bump

Well Mrs. Casey Jones she sat there on the bed
She got the telegram that her poor husband was dead
She said go to bed children and hush your cryin'
You got another papa on the Salt Lake line

Casey Jones, got another papa
Casey Jones, on the Salt Lake line
Casey Jones, got another papa
Ya got another papa on the Salt Lake line
