Casey Jones

year:
1969

lyrics:

This old engine 
makes it on time
Leaves Central Station 
at a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction 
at seventeen to
at a quarter to ten 
you know it's trav'lin' again

[Chorus]
Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones, you better
watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
and you know that notion
just crossed my mind

Trouble ahead 
The Lady in Red
Take my advice
you be better off dead
Switchman sleepin'
Train hundred and two
is on the wrong track and
headed for you

[Chorus]

Trouble with you is
The trouble with me
Got two good eyes 
but we still don't see
Come 'round the bend
You know it's the end
The fireman screams and
The engine just gleams

[Chorus]
