Casey Jones Was His Name

Hank Snow

 G
 A long time ago in a town in Tennessee
 AD
There lived a man and he wasgreat as he couldbe
 GC
 By the sweat of his brow heearned fortune and fame
 DG
 Casey Jones was hisname

From Memphis, Tennessee on that Cannonball Express
 D
By the wining of the whistle you could tell him from therest
Past the old plantations with their cotton and cane
 DG
 Casey Jones was hisname

Chorus

 G
 Clickety-clack, clickety-clack over the rails he'd go
 AD
Clickety-clack, clickety-clackbraving rain andsnow
 GC
 Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train
 DG
 Casey Jones was hisname

Chorus:Instrumental

 G
 Runnin' late thru Sardis past Winona on the fly
 AD
Like lightnin' chasin' thunderthru the stairways of thesky
 GC
 When we heard his engine moanin' and the story is claimed
 DG
 Casey Jones was hisname

 G
 Then on that fatal night he made his final run
 A
Near Vaughan, Mississippi he knew his time had come
 GC
 Too late he saw the head ofan old freight train
 DG
 Now a legend, Casey Jones was hisname

(Repeat chorus)
