Casey Jones
Tex Ritter

Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On the six-eight wheeler, boys, he won his fame
The caller called 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 promis'd land

Casey Jones, mounted to his cabin
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones, mounted to his cabin
And he took his land

He looked at his water and his water was low
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow
He turned to his frieman and this is what he said
Boy, we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead
He turned to the fireman, said Shovel on your coal
Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll
I'm gonna drive her til she leaves the rail
For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail

Casey Jones, I'm gonna drive her
Casey Jones, til she leaves the rail
Casey Jones, I'm gonna drive her
For I'm eight

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
When he was within six miles of the place
There No. 4 stared him straight in the face
He turned to his fireman, sai Jim, you'd better jump
For there're two locomotives that are going to bump.

Casey Jones, two locomotives
Casey Jones, 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?
O the Northern Pacific 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 quite your cryin'
For you've got another poppa on the Salt Lake Line
