Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers - Casey Jones

from Big Road by Erin Harpe

/

lyrics

Casey Jones was a noble engineer
Told his fireman, not to fear
All I want is in this world is my coal
Look out the window, see my drive wheels roll

Casey said, before I die
Two more trains, I'd like to ride
People all wondered, what could they be
The Southern Colorado, and the Sante Fe

Casey said, before I die
Two more drinks, I'd like to try
People all wondered, what could they be
A hot cup of coffee, and a cup of tea

Casey said, before I die
Gonna fix up this old train, so the bums can’t ride
If they ride, let ‘em ride on the rod
Let ‘em put their faith, in the hands of God
