A long time ago 
In a town in Tennessee 
There lived a man 
And he was brave as he could be 
By the sweat of his brow 
He earned fortune and fame 
Casey Jones was his name 

From Memphis, Tennessee 
On that Cannonball Express 
By the whining of the whistle 
You could tell him from the rest 
Past the old plantations 
With their cotton and cane 
Casey Jones was his name 

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack 
Over the rails he'd go 
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack 
Bravin' rain and snow 
Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train 
Casey Jones was his name 

Runnin' late through Sardis 
Past Winona on the fly 
Like lightnin' chasin' thunder 
through 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 ahead
There's thatta old freight train 
Now the legend, Casey Jones was his name 

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack 
Over the rails he'd go 
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack 
Bravin' rain and snow 
Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train 
Casey Jones was his name
