[Verse 1]
A
Casey Jones he was a mighty man 
A
But now he's resting in the promised land 
A
The kind of music he could understand 
A
Was an eight wheel driver under his command
[Chorus]
            D                          A
He made the freight train boogie all the time
            E7                                         A
He made the freight train boogie as he rolled down the line
[Verse 2]
A
When the fireman started ringing the bell 
A
Everybody hung around to tell 
A
Casey Jones was a coming to town 
A
On a six eight wheeler that was flat on the ground
[Chorus]
            D                          A
He made the freight train boogie all the time
            E7                                         A
He made the freight train boogie as he rolled down the line
[Verse 4]
