Casey Jones was the rounder's name, On a six eight wheeler, boys, he won his fame. Casey Jones mounted to his cabin, Casey Jones with his orders in his hand Casey Jones mounted to his cabin, And he took his farewell trip to that promised land. The caller call Casey at half past four, He kissed his wife at the station door, He mounted to the cabin with the orders in his hand, And he took his farewell trip to that promised land. When he pulled up that Reno hill, He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill; The switchman knew by the engine's moan That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones. He looked at his water and his water was low; He looked at his watch and his watch was slow; He turned to his fireman and this is what he said, "Boy, we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead." "So turn on your water and shovel in your coal, Stick you head out the window, watch those drivers roll; I'll drive her till she leaves the rail, For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail. When he was within six miles of the place, There number four stared him straight in the face. He turned to his fireman, said "Jim you'd better jump, For there're two locomotives that are going to bump. Casey said just before he died, "There're two more roads I would like to ride." The fireman said, "Which ones can they be?" "Oh the Northern Paceific and the Santa Fe." Mrs. Jones sat at her bed a-sighing Just to hear the news that her Casey was dying. "Hush up children, and quit your crying', For you've got another poppa on the Salt Lake Line." Many songs have been sung about Casey Jones and the famous train wreck of 1909. At the time of the tragedy, according to one legend, Casey, throttle puller of the Illinois Central's crack Cannonball, was driving No. 638, making a run for a friend who was ill. The train was wrecked at Vaughn, Mississippi, and Casey died at the throttle. Wallace Saunders, his Negro engine wiper, set down the story of his death and it was sung to the then popular tune of "Jimmy Jones." @train @work @death filename[ CASEJONE DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Charlie Green Play That Thing, Charlie Is My Darling, Chastity Belt, Chatsworth Wreck, Cheerily Man, Cherry Tree Carol, Cheseapeake Gold, Chester, Chestnuts Roasting, Chicken On A Raft, Chickens Are Into The Tomatoes, Chickens In The Garden, Child Of The Railroad Engineer, Children Draw Guns, Children Go Where I Send Thee, Children Of Darkness, Chile Native Anthem Text, Chilly Scenes Of Winter, Chilly Winds, China Anthem Text, Chinee Bumboatman, Chinese Truck, Chivalrous Shark, Christ Child Lullaby, Christ Was A Traveler, Christmas Goose, Christmas In The Trenches, Cielito Lindo, Cigarettes Whiskey And Wild Wild Women, Cinco Duros, Cindy, Circle Game, Circumstances Alter Cases, City Of Baltimore, City Of New Orleans, Clares Dragoons, Clear Away In The Morning, Clear Away The Morning Dew, Clear The Track, Clementine, Clerk Colvill, Clerk Saunders, Cloakmakers Union, Cluck Old Hen, Coachmans Whip, Coal And Albert Berry, Coal Barons Song, Coal Black Rose, Coal Tattoo, Coal Town Road, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
