  • Casey Jones Was His Name by Hank Snow Lyrics



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

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

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

    (Repeat chorus)

    Runnin' late thru Sardis
    Past Winona on the fly
    Like lightnin' chasin' thunder
    Thru 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 the (?)
    Of an old freight train
    Now a legend, Casey Jones was his name

    (Repeat chorus)
