6 7 7 7 7 7 -7
The work-ers on the S. P.

-6 6 7 7 7 7 6
Line to strike sent out a call

6 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6
But Cas-ey Jones, the en-gin-eer,

6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7
He would-n't strike at all.

6 7 7 7 7 7 -7
His boil-er it was leak-ing

-6 6 7 7 7 7 6
And his driv-ers on the bum,

5-5 6 6 6 6 6 -6
A-nd Cas-ey and his en-gine

6 -5 5 -4 -4 4
they were all out of plumb.

(chorus)

5 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8 7
Cas-ey Jones kept his junk-pile run-ning,

5 6 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8
Cas-ey Jones was work-ing dou-ble time.

5 6 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8 7
Cas-ey Jones he got a wood-en med-al,

5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 -6
F-or be-ing good and faith-ful

6 -5 5 -4 4
on the S. P. Line.
