[00:06.000]The Workers on the S. P. line to strike sent out a call;[00:09.000]But Casey Jones, the engineer, he wouldn't strike at all;[00:12.000]His boiler it was leaking, and its drivers on the bum,[00:15.000]And his engine and its bearings, they were all out of plumb.[00:19.000]Casey Jones kept his junk pile running;[00:22.000]Casey Jones was working double time;[00:25.000]Casey Jones got a wooden medal,[00:28.000]For being good and faithful on the S. P. line.[00:33.000]The workers said to Casey: "Won't you help us win this strike?"[00:36.000]But Casey said: "Let me alone, you'd better take a hike."[00:39.000]Well Casey's wheezy engine ran right off the wheezy track[00:42.000]And Casey hit the river with an awful smack.[00:45.000]Casey Jones hit the river bottom;[00:48.000]Casey Jones broke his blooming spine;[00:51.000]Casey Jones turned into an angel.[00:54.000]He got a trip to heaven on the S. P. line.[00:59.000]When Casey got up to heaven, to the Pearly Gate,[01:02.000]He said: "I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S. P. freight."[01:06.000]"You're just the man," said Peter, "our musicians are on strike;[01:09.000]You can get a job a-scabbing any time you like."[01:12.000]Cascy Jones got a job in heaven[01:15.000]Casey Jones was doing mighty fine;[01:18.000]Casey Jones went scabbing on the angels,[01:21.000]Just like he did to workers on the S. P. line.[01:26.000]The Angels' got together, and they said it wasn't fair,[01:30.000]For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere.[01:33.000]The Angels' Union No. 23, they sure were there,[01:36.000]And they promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stairs.[01:40.000]Casey Jones went to Hell a-flying;[01:43.000]"Casey Jones," the Devil said, "Oh fine:[01:46.000]Casey Jones, get busy shovelling sulphur;[01:49.000]That's what you get for scabbing on the S. P. Line."
