Текст песни: Casey Jones + перевод

Come all you rounders if you want to 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 about 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 leaning out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land

Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a falling 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 Sam Webb said we are not a giving up

yet

We are eight hours late with the southbound mail

We’ll be on time or we are leaving the rails

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin

Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boiling in Casey’s brain

Casey said hey now look out ahead jump Sam jump or we’ll all be dead

With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake

I see railroad official said he’s a good engineer to be a laying dead

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin

Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain all the part of a railroad train

Sweat and toil the good and the grand part of the life of a railroad man

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
