Casey Jones Lyrics - Blood, Sweat, And Tears - Johnny Cash

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 

Sam 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 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 

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 

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 

Casey Jones orders in his hand 

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