GCasey Jones Cwas a brave engiGneer
He told his Gfireman to D7not to Gfear
Says all I want my Cwater and my Gcoal
Look out the window Gsee me drive wheel roll
GEarly one morning Ccame a shower of Grain
Round the curve I D7seen a passenger Gtrain
In the cabin was CCasey GJones
GHe's a noble engineer man but he's dead and gone
GChildren children Cget your Ghat

GTrust they lives in the hands of God
GCasey Jones Cwas a brave engiGneer
He told his Gfireman to D7not to Gfear
Says all I want my Cwater and my Gcoal
Look out the window Gsee me drive wheel roll
