Johnny Cash - Casey Jones [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
Come all you rounders if you want to hear the story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame
Caller called Casey about half past four he kissed his wife at the station door
He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said this is the trip to the Promised Land
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leaning out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a falling and the water was high
Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
Well Jones said fireman now don't you fret Sam Webb said we are not a giving up yet
We are eight hours late with the southbound mail
We'll be on time or we are leaving the rails
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boiling in Casey's brain
Casey said hey now look out ahead jump Sam jump or we'll all be dead
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake
I see railroad official said he's a good engineer to be a laying dead
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain all the part of a railroad train
Sweat and toil the good and the grand part of the life of a railroad man
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
