Classic Poem

On a Sunday mornin' it begins to rain,
'Round the curve spied a passenger train,
Under de cab lay po' Casey Jones,
He's a good engineer, but he's dead an' gone,
Dead an' gone, dead an' gone,
Kase he's been on de cholly so long.

Casey Jones was a good engineer,
Tol' his fireman not to have no fear,
All I want's a lil water an' coal,
Peep out de cab an' see de drivers roll,
Oh, see de drivers roll, see de drivers roll,
Peep out de cab an' see de drivers roll.

On a Sunday mornin' it begins to rain,
'Round de curve come a passenger train,
Tol' his fireman he'd better jump,
Kase dose two locomotives is boun' to bump,
[Boun' to bump, boun' to bump,
Kase dose two locomotives is boun' to bump.
