Casey Jones - Mississippi John Hurt[00:00:00]
Casey Jones was a brave engineer[00:00:22]
He told his fireman to not to fear[00:00:27]
Says, "All I want, my water and my coal[00:00:32]
Look out the window, see me drive wheel roll"[00:00:37]
Early one mornin' came a shower of rain[00:01:03]
'Round the curve I seen a passenger train[00:01:08]
In the cabin was Casey Jones[00:01:13]
He's a noble engineer, man but he's dead and gone[00:01:18]
Casey's wife, she got the news[00:01:45]
She was sittin' on the bedside, she was lacin' up her shoes[00:01:49]
Said, "Go away, children and hold your breath[00:01:54]
You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead"[00:01:59]
"Children, children, get your hat"[00:02:05]
"Mama, Mama, what you mean by that?"[00:02:09]
"Get your hat, put it on your head[00:02:14]
Go down in town, see if your daddy's dead"[00:02:19]
"Mama, mama, oh, how can it be?[00:02:24]
My daddy got killed on the old I.C."[00:02:29]
"Hush your mouth I said and hold your breath[00:02:34]
You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead"[00:02:38]
Casey said, before he died[00:03:04]
Fixed the blinds so the boys can't ride[00:03:09]
If they ride, let 'em ride the rod[00:03:13]
Trust they lives in the hands of God[00:03:18]
Casey Jones was a brave engineer[00:03:23]
He told his fireman to not to fear[00:03:28]
Says, "All I want, my water and my coal[00:03:33]
Look out the window, see me drive wheel roll[00:03:38]
