Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Southern Casey Jones
Roberto, your version seems pretty well accurate to me, more so than the words on the site referred to by Peace. The words missing in the penultimate verse I have always heard as:
No good shoes and their evening gowns
The opening I have always heard as:
A lot of people say Casey Jones Can't run
Second verse; so a bum could ride
Haven't heard it for a few years but had the 78 for a long long time, one of the greats.
