Casey Jones Was His Name
Hank Snow
[F]A long time ago in a town in Tennessee
There lived a man and he was[G]great as he could[G]be
[F]By the sweat of his brow he[F]earned fortune and fame
[G]Casey Jones was his[F]name
By the wining of the whistle you could tell him from the[G]rest
Past the old plantations with their cotton and cane
[G]Casey Jones was his[F]name
Chorus
[F]Clickety-clack, clickety-clack over the rails he'd go
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack[G]braving rain and[G]snow
[F]Ev'ryone knew three-eighty-[F]two was his train
[G]Casey Jones was his[F]name
Chorus:Instrumental
[F]Runnin' late thru Sardis past Winona on the fly
Like lightnin' chasin' thunder[G]thru the stairways of the[G]sky
[F]When we heard his engine moanin' [F]and the story is claimed
[G]Casey Jones was his[F]name
[F]Then on that fatal night he made his final run
Near Vaughan, Mississippi [G]he knew his time had come
[F]Too late he saw the head of[F]an old freight train
[G]Now a legend, Casey Jones was his[F]name
(Repeat chorus)
