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 pa**enger train
In the cabin was Casey Jones
He's a noble engineer, man but he's dead and gone
Casey's wife, she got the news
She was sittin' on the bedside, she was lacin' up her shoes
