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 gone

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 breat

You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead"

Caseys 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

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 God

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
