Drivin' that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
This old engine makes it on time.
Leaves central station at a quarter to nine.
Hits River Junction at seventeen to,
At a quarter to ten you know it's travelin' again.
CHORUS:
Trouble ahead, a lady in red,
Take my advice you'd be better off dead.
Switch man sleepin', train a hundred and two
Is on the wrong track and headed for you.
CHORUS
(FOLLOW VERSE 1 FORMS)
Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but we still don't see.
Come 'round the bend you know it's the end,
'Cause the fireman screams and the engine just gleams.
REPEAT THE CHORUS WITH ORIGINAL CHORDS
Drivin' that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
