Come all of you rounders now if you want to hear
This is a story [F#] about a brave angel's tale
[B] Casey Jones he was a rounder's name
On a six-inch [F#] wheel of horse he wanted [B] to be
A caller called Casey at a half-past four
Kissed [F#] his wife at the station door
[B] Mounted to his cabin with his orders
In his hand to take a farewell trip [F#] to the promised [B]
land
Casey Jones mounted to his cabin
Oh, Casey Jones, [F#] orders in his [B] hand
Oh, Casey Jones, mounted to his cabin
He's not gonna take a trip to [F#] the [B] promised land
He looked at his watch and the watch was blue
Looked at his water and [F#] his water was blue
[B] Turned to his momma and the waitress said
We're gonna reach a [D#m] crystal but we'll [B] all be dead
Just open up your water now and shovel in your coat
Kick your head out the window see [F#] my driver [B] unrolled
Runner I will run until she leans the red
For I may die a little later when the west comes next
Casey Jones eight hours later
Casey Jones with [F#] the west on mail
[B] Casey Jones eight hours later
Eight hours later with the west on mail
Oh, Casey pulled up on that Reno hill
Tooted at the countin' [F#] with an awful old rail
[B] Which money knew by the angel moan
That the man I had to [D#m] travel was old Casey [B] Jones
Oh, Casey pulled up in two miles of a place
Old number put tiny [F#] right in his place
[B] Turned to his pommas and said boy you better jump
While this two [F#] locomotive's out here going to [B] bomb
Casey Jones two locomotives
Oh, it's Casey Jones [D#m] this man's too [B] bummed
Casey Jones two locomotives
Well, it's two [D#m] locomotives that's a-going to [B] bomb
