Blood, Sweat and Tears lyrics

All around the water tank waitin' for a train

A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk

Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show

He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door

[ piano ]

Come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story about a brave engineer

Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame

Caller called Casey bout half past four he kissed his wife at the station door

He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said this is the trip to the Promised Land

Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand
