CASEY JONES (THE BRAVE ENGINEER)
(T. Lawrence Seibert / Eddie Newton) (1909)
Wingy Manone & His Orchestra
Casey Jones,
Mounted to the cabin,
Casey Jones,
With his orders in his hand,
Casey Jones,
Mounted to the cabin,
And he took his farewell trip to the Promised Land.
Casey Jones,
Goin' to reach Frisco,
Casey Jones,
But we'll all be dead,
Casey Jones,
Goin' to reach Frisco,
We're goin' to reach Frisco but we'll all be dead.
Casey Jones,
Two locomotives,
Casey Jones,
That's a-goin' to bumb,
Casey Jones,
Two locomotives,
There's two locomotives that's a-goin' to bumb.
Mrs. Casey Jones,
Got another papa,
Mrs. Casey Jones,
On that Salt Lake Line,
Mrs. Casey Jones,
Got another papa,
And you've got another papa on the Salt Lake Line.
