"Freight Train Boogie" lyrics
Doc Watson & Merle Watson Lyrics
Casey Jones he was a mighty man
And now he's resting in the promised land
The only kind of music he could understand
Was an big eight wheel driver under his command
He made the freight train boogie
All the time
He made the freight train boogie
As he rolled down the line
When the fireman started ringing the bell
Everybody on the line could tell
Casey Jones he was a coming to town
On an big 8-wheel driver that was burning 'em down
And now he's resting in the promised land
The only kind of music he could understand
Was an big eight wheel driver under his command
He made the freight train boogie
All the time
He made the freight train boogie
As he rolled down the line
When the fireman started ringing the bell
Everybody on the line could tell
Casey Jones he was a coming to town
On an big 8-wheel driver that was burning 'em down
