CASEY JONES, THE UNION SCABCASEY JONES – STREJKBRYTAREN
  
The Workers on the S. P. line to strike sent out a call;Arbetarna på SP sände ut en strejkapell,
But Casey Jones, the engineer, he wouldn't strike at all;men Casey jones, lokföraren, sa: "Nej" och: "Go to Hell"
His boiler it was leaking, and its drivers on the bum,Ångpannan läckte och hans hjul, pistongerna och allt
And his engine and its bearings, they were all out of plumb.var som skrot anno artonhundrakallt.
  
Casey Jones kept his junk pile running;Casey Jones höll sin skrothög uppe,
Casey Jones was working double time;Casey Jones slet tvåskift år för år,
Casey Jones got a wooden medal,Casey Jones fick medalj på bröstet,
For being good and faithful on the S. P. line.fick trämedalj för trogen tjänst på SP:s spår.
  
The workers said to Casey: "Won't you help us win this strike?"Kamraterna sa: "Casey, hjälp oss vinna strejken, säj?"
But Casey said: "Let me alone, you'd better take a hike."Men Casey sa: "Ge er iväg, sköt ert, ge fan i mej!"
Then some one put a bunch of railroad ties across the track,och Caseys gamla kärra spåra ur och gick pladask
And Casey hit the river bottom with an awful crack.gick pladask i sjön med Casey Jones så det sa plask.
  
Casey Jones hit the river bottom;Casey Jones han slog smack i botten,
Casey Jones broke his blessed spine;Casey Jones han bröt både rygg och lår,
Casey Jones was an Angelino,Casey Jones han blev en änglagosse
He took a trip to heaven on the S. P. line.och tog en tur till himmelen på SPs spår.
  
When Casey Jones got up to heaven, to the Pearly Gate,När Casey kom till himmelen och Pärleporten såg,
He said: "I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S. P. freight."sa han: "Jag är Casey Jones, som körde SPs tåg."
"You're just the man," said Peter, "our musicians went on strike;»Välkommen hit, ni kommer som beställd«, sa Sankte Per,
You can get a job a'scabbing any time you like.""blåsorkestern strejkar, det finns jobb för er här."
  
Casey Jones got up to heaven;Casey Jones fick ett jobb i himlen,
Casey Jones was doing mighty fine;Casey Jones han blev en matador,
Casey Jones went scabbing on the angels,Casey Jones gick ut i Judas-jobbet
Just like he did to workers of the S. P. line.precis som mot kamraterna i SPs kår.
  
They got together, and they said it wasn't fair,Men änglafacket sa att det var fult
For Casey Jones to go around a'scabbing everywhere.att casey Jones gick överallt och jobba gult
The Angels' Union No. 23, they sure were there,och deras Union 23 uttalade protest
And they promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stairs.och express ur härligheten åkte deras gäst.
  
Casey Jones went to Hell a'flying;Casey Jones flög direkt åt fanders.
"Casey Jones," the Devil said, "Oh fine:"Casey Jones, charmant!" sa Fan, nu går
Casey Jones, get busy shovelling sulphur;Casey Jones, du bums och skyfflar svavel,
That's what you get for scabbing on the S. P. Line."det får du för din brytartjänst på SPs spår.
