Riders In The Sky - Casey Jones lyrics

{Verse 1} Come on you rounders if you wanna hear A story 'bout a real brave engineer Casey Jones was the rounder's name On an Eight-Six wheeler boys he won his fame The boss called Casey 'bout half past four He kissed his wife at the station door He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land" {Chorus} Casey Jones Mounted to the cabin Casey Jones His orders in his hand Casey Jones Mounted to the cabin Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land" {Verse 2} Pour on thе water, boy, shovel the coal Stick your hеad out the window watch the drivers roll I've got to run her cause she leaves the rails And I'm nine hours late with the western mail {Verse 3} Casey rolled up to the fateful place Where ol' Number Nine looked him straight in the face He hollered to his fireman "Boy, you better jump 'Cause there's another locomotive and we're bound to bump" {Chorus} Casey Jones Mounted to the cabin Casey Jones His orders in his hand Casey Jones Mounted to the cabin Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land" {Chorus} Casey Jones Mounted to the cabin Said "I'm gonna take a trip to the promised land"
