Hank Snow - Casey Jones Was His Name Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A long time ago
  • In a town in Tennessee
  • There lived a man
  • And he was great as he could be
  • By the sweat of his brow
  • He earned fortune and fame
  • Casey Jones was his name
  • (Chorus)
  • Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
  • Over the rails he'd go
  • Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
  • Braving rain and snow
  • Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train
  • Casey Jones was his name
  • From Memphis, Tennessee
  • On that Cannonball Express
  • By the wining of the whistle
  • You could tell him from the rest
  • Past the old plantations
  • With their cotton and cane
  • Casey Jones was his name
  • (Repeat chorus)
  • Runnin' late thru Sardis
  • Past Winona on the fly
  • Like lightnin' chasin' thunder
  • Thru the stairways of the sky
  • When we heard his engine moanin'
  • And the story is claimed
  • Casey Jones was his name
  • Then on that fatal night
  • He made his final run
  • Near Vaughan, Mississippi
  • He knew his time had come
  • Too late he saw the (?)
  • Of an old freight train
  • Now a legend, Casey Jones was his name
  • (Repeat chorus)
