Casey Jones

Jonathan Luther "Casey" Jones (March 14, 1863 – April 30, 1900) from Jackson, Tennessee, was an American railroader who worked for the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). He was killed on April 30, 1900, when his train collided with a stalled freight train near Vaughan, Mississippi. His dramatic death while trying to stop his train and save the lives of his passengers made him a hero; he was immortalized in a popular ballad sung by his friend Wallace Saunders, an African-American engine wiper for the IC.As a boy, he lived near Cayce, Kentucky, where he acquired the nickname of "Cayce", which he chose to spell as "Casey". more »

When you told me it was all over, babe
You thought all I ever was, was through, 
When you told me it was all over, babe
Thought all I ever was through (oh yeah!)
I had three more irons in the fire
Sorry, but I forgot to tell you

One more thing I'd like to tell you right now, uh-huh

You thought I'd be hurt when you left me babe
But I found another friend,
Yeah, you thought I'd be hurt when you left me babe
Well, I found another friend, (found me somebody else)
But sometimes what you lose,
Is nothing compared to what you win
(I'm gonna feel alright now)

A good man may fall, babe (oh yeah) but ya get back on your feet
(Yeah, I know, I know, I know)
You know, you know, a good man may fall, babe
Ya know ya get back on your feet
Yes I've got a good thing goin' now, woman (got a good thing goin' now)
Oh the future look good to me (future look so good to me) alright
