Midchuck, many thanks. I can hear that now, but I would never have made it out. It certainly makes the 'bums' stanza more pertinent. The only versions I have seen had 'Casey Jones said before he died'. Available resources for folksong are pretty thin here at the top of Oz - I have to rely mainly on my own album and book collections and what I can find on the net. Your help is much appreciated.--Stewie.
