(Griffin/Horton, Darling, Gabler)
|
Casey Jones was a mighty man, now he's resting in the Promised Land.
|
The only thing he could understand was an eight-wheel driver under his command.
|
He made the freight train boogie all the time.
|
He made the freight train boogie as he rolled down the line.
|
|
Woo woo, wah wah, woo woo, wah wah. Woo woo, wah wah, woo woo, wah wah.
|
He made the freight train boogie as he rolled down the line.
|
|
I'm headed for the station with my pack on my back,
|
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack.
|
I just love the rhythm of the clickity-clack,
|
I hear the whistle blowing, see the smoke from the stack.
|
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac,
|
Take me right back to the track, Jack.
|
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie, woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie.
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie, take me right back to the track, Jack.
|
|
You reach your destination and alas and alack,
|
You need some compensation to get back in the black.
|
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
|
and read the situation from the front to the back.
|
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack,
|
take me right back to the track, Jack.
|
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie, woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie.
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie, take me right back to the track, Jack.
|
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie, woo woo, woo woo ch'boogie.
|
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie,
|
He made the freight train boogie as he rolled down the line.
