Casey Jones '” The Union Scab

Oh the workers on the SP line to strike sent out a call
 But Casey Jones the union scab he wouldn't strike at all
 His boilers they were leaking and his drivers on the bum
 And the engine and the bearings they were all out of plumb
 But Casey Jones he kept his junk pile running
 Casey Jones he was working double time
 Casey Jones he got a wooden medal
 For being good and faithful to the SP line
 Now the workers said to Casey, 'Won't you help us win this strike?'
 He said, 'You better go along, go on and take a hike'
 And someone threw a bunch of railroad ties across the track
 And Casey hit the bottom with an awful smack
 Casey Jones he hit the river bottom
 Casey Jones he broke his blooming spine
 But Casey Jones he was an Angelino
 Who took a trip to Heaven on the SP line
 Now Casey got to Heaven through the pearly gate
 He said, 'I'm Casey Jones the guy that pulled the SP freight'
 'You're just the man,' said Peter, 'Our musicians went on strike'
 'You can get a job of scabbing anytime you like'
 Casey Jones he got up into Heaven
 Casey Jones he's doing mighty fine
 Casey Jones went a-scabbing on the angels
 Like he did to workers on the SP line
 Now the angels got together said it was not fair
 For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere
 And Angels Local 23 they sure was there
 And they promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stair
 Casey Jones he went to hell a-flying
 'Casey Jones', said the Devil, 'Oh fine!'
 But Casey Jones get busy shoveling sulphur
 That's what you get for scabbing on the SP line.
