Casey Jones - Johnny Cash

作词：T. L. Seibert

作曲：E. NEWTON

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story about a brave engineer

Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame

Caller called Casey bout half past four He kissed his wife at the station door

He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand

Said this is the trip to the Promised Land

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand

Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land

Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain

been a fallin' and the water was high

Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones

Well Jones said Fireman now don't you

fret Sim Webb said We ain't a givin' up yet

We're eight hours late with the southbound mail

We'll be on time or we're leavin' the rails

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand

Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land

Dead on the rail was a passenger train Blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain

Casey said Hey now - look out ahead

Jump Sim jump or we'll all be dead

With a hand on a whistle and a hand

on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake

The IC railroad official said He's a good engineer to be a laying dead

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand

Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land

Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of

pain are all the part of a railroad train

Sweat and toil the good and the grand

are part of the life of a railroad man

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand

Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land
