[F#] [B]
The workers on the SB line for strikes had had a call
[D#] But Casey Jones, the engineer, he wouldn't [F#] strike at all
[D#m] His boiler, it was leaking [C#] and the drivers on the [B] bum
And the engines and the barren, they were all out of plum
Casey Jones kept his junk while running Casey Jones was [F#] working double time
[B] Casey Jones got a wooden medal For being good and faithful on the SB line
The workers said to Casey, won't you help [D#m] us win this strike?
But Casey [B] said, let me alone, [F#] you'd better take a hike
[B] Well Casey's wheezy engine ran right off the wheezy track
And Casey hit the river with an awful smack
Casey Jones hit the river bottom Casey Jones broke his blooming spine
Casey Jones turned into an [C#] angel He got a trip to heaven on the SB line
And Casey got to heaven way up to that [F#] pearly gate
He said, I'm Casey [D#] Jones, the guy that pulled [F#] the SB freight
[B] You're just the man, said Peter, our [C#] musicians are on strike
You can get a job of scabbing any time [B] you like
Casey Jones got a job [B] in heaven Casey Jones [F#] was doing mighty [B] fine
Casey Jones went scabbing on the angels Just like he did to workers on the SB line
Well the angels got together, they said it wasn't fair
For Casey Jones to go around the [F#] scabbing everywhere
