Casey Jones Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 goneCasey's 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""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 breath
You're gonna draw a pension after 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 GodCasey said, before died,
"There's just one road that I'd like to ride."
People wonder what that road could be;
The Colorado and the Santa Fe.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"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

John Smith Hurt, better known as Mississippi John Hurt (July 3, 1893 or March 8, 1892 - November 2, 1966) was an American country blues singer and guitarist. Raised in Avalon, Mississippi, Hurt taught himself how to play the guitar around age nine. Singing to a melodious finger-picked accompaniment, he began to play local dances and parties while working as a sharecropper. He first recorded for Okeh Records in 1928, but these were commercial failures.
