GCG Casey Jones was a brave engineer GD7G He told his fireman to not to fear CG Says all I want my water and my coal G Look out the window see me drive wheel roll
GCG Early one morning came a shower of rain D7G Round the curve I seen a passenger train CG In the cabin was Casey Jones G He's a noble engineer man but he's dead and gone
GCG Children children get your hat D7G Mama Mama what you mean by that? CG Get your hat put it on your head G Go down in town see if your daddy's dead
CCG Mama mama oh, how can it be? D7G My daddy got killed on the old I.C. CG Hush your mouth I said and hold your breat G You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead
GCG Casey's wife she got the news D7G She was sittin on the bedside she was lacin up her shoes CG Said go away children and hold your breath G You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead
GCG Casey said, before he died D7G Fixed the blinds so the boys can't ride CG If they ride, let'em ride the rod G Trust they lives in the hands of God
GCG Casey Jones was a brave engineer GD7G He told his fireman to not to fear CG Says all I want my water and my coal G Look out the window see me drive wheel roll
