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 (el valiente ingeniero)
Venid todos los vagabundos si quieren escuchar
La historia de un valiente ingeniero
Casey Jones era el nombre del vagabundo
En un tren de 68 ruedas, chicos, ganó su fama
El llamador llamó a Casey a las cuatro y media
Beso a su esposa en la puerta de la estación
Subió a la cabina con sus órdenes en la mano
Y emprendió su último viaje hacia la Tierra Prometida
Casey Jones subió a la cabina
Casey Jones con las órdenes en la mano
Casey Jones subió a la cabina
Y emprendió su último viaje hacia la Tierra Prometida
Echa agua y echa carbón
Asoma la cabeza por la ventana y mira las ruedas girar
La haré correr hasta que salga de los rieles
Porque llegué tarde con el correo del oeste
Miró su reloj pero iba lento
Miró el agua y estaba baja
Miró al fogonero y luego dijo
Vamos a llegar a Frisco o Buffalo estará muerto
Casey Jones va a llegar a Frisco
Casey Jones Buffalo estará muerto
Casey Jones vamos a llegar a Frisco
Vamos a llegar a Frisco o Buffalo estará muerto
Casey subió esa colina de Reno
Silbó para el cruce con un chillido horrible
El cambista supo por el gemido de la máquina
Que el hombre al mando era Casey Jones
Se detuvo a dos millas del lugar
El número cuatro lo miraba directamente a la cara
Se volvió hacia su fogonero y le dijo
Más te vale saltar chico, porque dos locomotoras van a chocar
Casey Jones dos locomotoras
Casey Jones van a chocar
Casey Jones dos locomotoras
Hay dos locomotoras que van a chocar
Casey dijo justo antes de morir
Hay dos rutas más que me gustaría recorrer
El fogonero dijo ¿cuáles serían?
El Pacífico Norte y el Santa Fe
La Sra. Jones se sentó en su cama suspirando
Solo para ver el mensaje de que Casey estaba muriendo
Vayan a dormir niños y dejen de llorar
Porque papá sigue cabalgando en esa línea celestial
Casey Jones subió a la cabina
Casey Jones con las órdenes en la mano
Casey Jones subió a la cabina
Y emprendió su último viaje hacia la Tierra Prometida
