Testo Casey Jones - Dave Van Ronk
Testo della canzone Casey Jones (Dave Van Ronk), tratta dall'album Somebody Else, Not Me (Reissue)
Come all you riders, if you want to hear
The story told about a brave engineer
Mr. Casey Jones was the rider's name
On a heavyweight wheelie, well, he won his fame
He won his fame
On a heavyweight wheelie, well, he won his fame
Some people said Mr. Casey couldn't run
Let me tell you what Mr. Casey done
He left Memphis half past nine
Was in Newport News at dinner time
At dinner time
Was in Newport News at dinner time
Called a call case about half past four
Kissed his wife at the station door
Jumped in the cabin, oil was in his hair
Said "This is my ticket to the promised land"
To the promised land
He said "This is my ticket to the promised land"
Guitar now, yeah
Oh yeah
Mrs. Casey said she had a dream
Dreamed about a sewing machine
Needle broke, would not sew
Well, she loves Mr. Casey 'cause she told me so
She told me so
Well, she loves Mr. Casey 'cause she told me so
In the second cabin sat Miss Alice Fryer
Gonna ride when Mr. Casey die
"Ain't good lookin', don't dress fine
I'm a ramblin' woman, got a ramblin' mind"
"I got a ramblin' mind"
"I'm a ramblin' woman, got a ramblin' mind"
Yeah, guitar
Was a early Sunday morning, beginning to rain
'Round the curve comes a passing train
Casey said "You better jump
Two locomotives and they're bound to bump"
And they're bound to bump
There's two locomotives and they're bound to bump
Mama, mama, heard the news
Papa's dead down at Newport News
"Hush up, child, stop your cryin'
Got another papa on the Southern line"
On the Southern line
You got another papa on the Southern line
Get out your engine and get out your train
Mr. Casey gonna ride the road again
Fast as lightnin', smooth as glass
Fellas, take your hat off when the train goes past
When the train goes past
Ah, fellas, take your hat off when the train goes past
Come on, engineer, come on, train
Mr. Casey's gonna ride the road again
Fast as lightnin' and as smooth as glass
Fellas, take your hat off when the train goes past
When the train goes past
Ah, fellas, take your hat off when the train
When the train goes past
