Casey Jones

Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Jerry Garcia

Driving 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 'bout a quarter to nine Hits River Junction at seventeen to At a quarter to ten you know it's travelling again

Trouble ahead, the lady in red Take my advice you'd be better off dead Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two Is on the wrong track and headed for you

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 The fireman screams and the engine just gleams
