Casey Jones (the Brave Engineer)
Come all you rounders if you wanna hear
The story bout a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the rounder's name
On a 68 wheeler boys he won his fame
The caller called Casey at a half past four
He kissed his wife at the station door
Mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand
And it took his final trip to the Promised Land
Casye Jones mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones with the orders in his hand
Casye Jones mounted to the cabin
And it took his final trip to the Promised Land
Put in your water and shovel your coal
Put your head out the window watch the drivers roll
I'll run her till she leaves the rails
Cause I made hours late with the western mail
He looked at his watch but the watch was slow
He looked at the water and the water was low
He looked at the fireman and then he said
We're gonna reach Frisco Buffalo'd be dead
Casey Jones gonna reach Frisco
Casey Jones Buffalo'd be dead
Casey Jones we're gonna reach Frisco
We're gonna reach Frisco Buffalo'd be dead
Casey pulled up that Reno hill
He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew by the engine's moan
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
He pulled up within two miles of the place
There number four stared him straight in the face
He turned to his fireman said boy you'd better jump
Cause there's two locomotives that are going to bump
Casey Jones two locomotives
Casey Jones that's going to bump
Casey Jones two locomotives
There's two locomotives that's going to bump
Casey said just before he died
There're two more roads that I'd like to ride
The fireman said would that be
The Northern Pacific and the Santa Fe
Mrs Jones sat at on her bed a sighin'
Just to see the message that Casey was dyin'
Go to bed children and stop your cryin'
Cause daddy's still a ridin' that heavenly line
Casye Jones mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones with the orders in his hand
Casye Jones mounted to the cabin
And it took his final trip to the Promised Land
Casey Jones (o Valente Maquinista)
Venham todos vocês, se querem ouvir
A história de um valente maquinista
Casey Jones era o nome do cara
Em um trem de 68 rodas, ele ganhou a fama
O operador chamou o Casey às quatro e meia
Ele beijou a esposa na porta da estação
Subiu na cabine com as ordens na mão
E fez sua última viagem para a Terra Prometida
Casey Jones subiu na cabine
Casey Jones com as ordens na mão
Casey Jones subiu na cabine
E fez sua última viagem para a Terra Prometida
Coloque água e jogue carvão
Coloque a cabeça pra fora e veja os maquinistas em ação
Vou tocar o trem até sair dos trilhos
Porque estou atrasado com a correspondência do oeste
Ele olhou para o relógio, mas o relógio estava atrasado
Olhou para a água e a água estava baixa
Olhou para o maquinista e então disse
Vamos chegar em Frisco, o Buffalo vai estar morto
Casey Jones vai chegar em Frisco
Casey Jones, o Buffalo vai estar morto
Casey Jones, vamos chegar em Frisco
Vamos chegar em Frisco, o Buffalo vai estar morto
Casey subiu a colina de Reno
Ele apitou para a passagem com um grito agudo
O operador sabia pelo gemido da locomotiva
Que o homem no comando era Casey Jones
Ele parou a duas milhas do lugar
E o número quatro encarou ele de frente
Virou-se para o maquinista e disse: melhor pular
Porque tem duas locomotivas que vão colidir
Casey Jones, duas locomotivas
Casey Jones, vai colidir
Casey Jones, duas locomotivas
Tem duas locomotivas que vão colidir
Casey disse pouco antes de morrer
Tem mais duas ferrovias que eu gostaria de percorrer
O maquinista perguntou: seriam
A Northern Pacific e a Santa Fe?
A Sra. Jones sentou na cama suspirando
Só para ver a mensagem de que Casey estava morrendo
Vão dormir, crianças, e parem de chorar
Porque o papai ainda está viajando nessa linha celestial
Casey Jones subiu na cabine
Casey Jones com as ordens na mão
Casey Jones subiu na cabine
E fez sua última viagem para a Terra Prometida
