Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On the six-eight wheeler, boys, he won his fame
The caller called Casey at half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
He mounted to the cabin with the orders in his hand
And he took his farewell trip to that promised land
Casey Jones - mounted to his cabin
Casey Jones - with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones - mounted to his cabin
And took his farewell trip to that promised land

He looked at his water and his water was low
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow...
