Newton: Casey Jones

An American ballad about a heroic railroad engineer who stayed on board a speeding locomotive, attempting to stop it before the collision that took his life.

Come all you rounders if you want to hear,
A stroy about a brave engineer.
Casey Jones was the rounder's name.
On a six eight wheeler he won his fame.

Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin,
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand.
Casey Jones, mounted to the cabin,
And he took his farewell trip to that promised land.
