G           C               G
Casey Jones was a brave engineer
            G          D7     G
He told his fireman to not to fear
                   C            G
Says all I want my water and my coal
                    G
Look out the window see me drive wheel roll



G                C                G
Early one morning came a shower of rain
                  D7               G
Round the curve I seen a passenger train
                 C     G
In the cabin was Casey Jones
G
He's a noble engineer man but he's dead and gone



G                 C        G
Children children get your hat
          D7               G
Mama Mama what you mean by that?
                    C       G
Get your hat put it on your head
G
Go down in town see if your daddy's dead



C             C          G
Mama mama oh, how can it be?
                    D7         G
My daddy got killed on the old I.C.
                           C         G
Hush your mouth I said and hold your breat
G
You're gonna draw a pension after daddy's dead



G               C       G
Casey's wife she got the news
                                      D7           G           
She was sittin on the bedside she was lacin up her shoes
                          C         G
Said go away children and hold your breath
G
You're gonna draw a pension after your daddy's dead



G           C         G
Casey said, before he died
                        D7         G
Fixed the blinds so the boys can't ride
                     C        G
If they ride, let'em ride the rod
G
Trust they lives in the hands of God



G           C               G
Casey Jones was a brave engineer
            G          D7     G
He told his fireman to not to fear
                   C            G
Says all I want my water and my coal
                    G
Look out the window see me drive wheel roll
