Tom Rush - Casey Jones lyrics

Miss Casey said she dreamt a dream The night she bought her sewing machine. The needle got broke and she could not sew. Loved Mister Casey 'cause she told me so. ...Told me so... ...Told me so... She loved Mister Casey 'cause she told me so. Now Monday morning, at four o'clock. Casey told his fireman get the boilers hot. Put on your water, put on your coal, Put your head out the window, see my driver wheel roll ...See my driver wheel roll... Put your head out the window, see my drive wheel roll. Some people goin a tell ya Casey Jones can't run. Let me tell you what Casey done. He left Memphis, was a quarter to nine. Got to Newport News fore dinner time ...Fore was dinner time... Got to Newport News, fore dinner time. Hey look a yonder comin down that line Its the 109 tryin to make some time You can tell by the way that the whistle moans The man at the throttle thats Casey Jones Thats Casey Jones Thats Casey Jones The man at the throttle thats Casey Jones Now Monday mornin at six oclock. Caseys engine began to reel and rock Casey told the fireman Keep yourself hid We gonna shake it like Chaney did Like Chaney did Like Chaney did We gonna shake it like Chaney did Hey look a yonder waitin down that line Ten little children on the doorstep cryin Momma Momma cant keep from cryin Poppa got k**ed on the central line On the central line On the central line Poppa got k**ed on the central line Now Monday mornin' come a shower of rain 'Round the curve come a pa**enger train Tipped his brake, blew his horn He's a good engineer but he's dead and gone He's dead and gone He's dead and gone He's a good engineer but he's dead and gone And Miss Casey said she dreamt a dream The night she bought her sewing machine. The needle got broke and she could not sew. Loved Mister Casey 'cause she told me so. ...Told me so... ...Told me so... She loved Mister Casey 'cause she told me so.
