I am glad that I backtracked the hits on our museum web pages and found this site. You folks have given me several sets of new lyrics that we had never seen before.
The songs are the story. The only reason Casey Jones is famous is because of the song. Otherwise, he is just one of hundreds of enginemen killed that year.
The 100th anniversary of Casey's death is April 30th and we hope that everyone will sing their favorite version in rememberance of ol' Casey.
Thanks for the interesting reading!
