Current song lyrics
TALKIN' CASEY (open E tuning)<br />(from the Oberlin College Concert) E throughout...<br /><br />Casey, Casey Don't leave me here<br />Casey Jones Please don't leave me here<br /><br />Little chidren commenced callin' cryin', Daddy, don't leave me here. He could not stand this.<br /><br />Daddy, Daddy, don't leave me here<br /><br />He couldn't stand that. he told the fireman, said<br />Get the bell, let's go.<br /><br />I heard the bell, somethin' like this...<br /><br />Shortly after that, he's gone. I heard the drive wheel jump the joints.<br />'Bout time he got switched 'n' runnin' he run up on some sheep.<br /><br />Blowed for 'em to get off the tracks but they wouldn't get off. He had to stop his train.<br /><br />Blowin' somethin' like this...<br /><br />I heard him when he's cuttin' down 'fore he stopped.<br /><br />Made him sort of mad when he had to stop his train, then he got behind time a little bit. Commenced cussin', here's what he said.<br /><br />After that I heard him. he was runnin' so fast looked like them drive wheels 'bout to catch up with them litte truck wheels.<br /><br />People all got scared, though it was gonna make a wreck, which it did.<br />One lady commenced singin' Lord have mercy, save me Lord.<br /><br />Well Lord, have mercy.<br />Lord, have mercy<br />Lord, have mercy<br />Save me Lord<br /><br />Lord don't leave me<br />Lord don't leave me<br />Oh Lord don't leave me<br />Save me Lord
