This old engine makes it on time, Leaves Central Station bout a quarter to nine. Hits River Junction at seventeen to, At a quarter to ten you know it’s trav’lin again. Drivin’ that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind. ---

Engine, Engine, Number Nine, On the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, Crispy and clean, You can try, But then why, Cause you can’t intervene. We be the outcast, Down for the settle. Won’t play the rock, Won’t play the pebble. ---

The bridge holds back the sky Can’t hold back what’s inside And the train above me Sounds like the music in my head My thoughts are undecided I think it so I hide it And the train rushes past Like a day gone too fast ---

While the train rolled onward, a husband sat in tears, Thinking of the happiness of just a few short years. Baby’s face brings pictures of a cherished hope that’s dead, But baby’s cries can’t waken her in the baggage coach ahead. ---

And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said “All men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them” But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you’ll trust him For he’s touched your perfect body with his mind. ---
