Casey Jones,
Crashed his speeding train..
Immortalized within
An old refrain..
Lost his life and suffered pain,
Read on, and we shall explain..

Casey Jones,
Wrecked his "Locomote"
In Vaughn, Mississippi,
News tale quote.
Cars on tracks, the story'd note
Foggy night, that's all she wrote..

Big rig was highballin'
Struck four boxcars, stallin'
"Case" made that ol' whistle whine..
And said to his brakeman,
"A jump you must take, Man..
This..is the end of the line!"

Casey Jones,
Tried to stop the train
Illinois Central railrod chain...
Legendary, he'll remain..
Standin' tall in Heaven's lane..

Big rig was highballin'
Hit those boxcars, stallin'
"Case" made his ol' whistle whine..
And said to the brakeman,
"A jump, you best take, Man..
(Cause) this is the end of the line!"

Casey Jones,
Rode that fatal train
Pryed him from the wreckage,
Where he'd lain..
Legendary, he'll remain
Standin' tall in Heaven's lane..

Legendary, he'll remain
Standin' tall in Heaven's lane..

Casey Jones, (Casey Jones)
Casey Jo-o-nes.....
