Eddy Arnold - Casey Jones (the Brave Engineer) lyrics

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear

The story 'bout a brave engineer

Casey Jones was the rounder's name

On a 68 wheeler boys he won his fame.

The caller, called Casey at a half past four

He kissed his wife at the station door

Mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand

And it took his final trip to the Promised Land.

Casey Jones mounted to the cabin

Casey Jones with the orders in his hand

Casey Jones mounted to the cabin

And it took his final trip to the Promised Land.

Put in your water and shovel your coal

Put your head out the window watch the drivers roll

I'll run her till she leaves the rails

'Cause I made hours late with the western mail.

He looked at his watch but the watch was slow

He looked at the water and the water was low

He looked at the fireman and then he said

We're gonna reach Frisco, Buffalo'd be dead.

Casey Jones gonna reach Frisco

Casey Jones, Buffalo'd be dead

Casey Jones we're gonna reach Frisco

We're gonna reach Frisco, Buffalo'd be dead...
