Southern Casey Jones Lyrics – Jesse James
Singer: Jesse James
Title: Southern Casey Jones
I heard the people say Casey Jones can’t run
I’m going to tell you what the poor boy done
Left Cincinnati ‘bout half past nine
Got to Newport News ‘fore dinner time
‘Fore dinner time, that’s ’fore dinner time
Got to Newport News ‘fore dinner time
Now Casey Jones said before he died
He fixed the road so a bum could ride
And if he ride he had to ride the rod
Rеst his heart in the hand of God
Hand of God, in the hand of God
Had to rеst his heart in the hand of God
Now little girl says, “mama is that a fact
Papa got killed on the I.C. track?”
“Yes, yes honey but hold your breath
Get that money from your daddy’s death
From your daddy’s death, from your daddy’s death
You’ll get money your daddy’s death
Lord your daddy’s death, from your daddy’s death
You’ll get money from your daddy’s death
When the news reached town Casey Jones was dead
Women went home and had it out in red
Slipping and sliding all across the streets
With their loose mother hubbard and their stocking feet
Stocking feet, stocking feet
Loose mother hubbards and their stocking feet
Now Casey Jones went from place to place
Another train hit his train right in the face
People got off but Casey Jones stayed on
Natural born Eastman but he’s dead and gone
Dead and gone, he’s dead and gone
He’s a natural born Eastman but he’s dead and gone
Here come the biggest boy coming right from school
Hollering and crying like a doggone fool
“Look here mama is our papa dead?”
Women’s going home and had it out in red
Low cut shoes and their evening gowns
Following papa to the burying ground
To the burying ground, to the burying ground
Following papa down to the burying ground
“Now tell the truth mama he says is that a fact
Papa got killed on the I.C. track?”
“Quit crying boy, don’t do that
You got another daddy on the same damn track”
On the same track, on the same track
Says you got another daddy on the same track
