dahulu kala
In a town in Tennessee
Di sebuah kota di Tennessee
There lived a man
Tinggal seorang pria
And he was great as he could be
Dan dia hebat seperti dia
By the sweat of his brow
Dengan keringat alisnya
He earned fortune and fame
Dia mendapatkan keberuntungan dan ketenaran
Casey Jones was his name
Casey Jones adalah namanya
(Chorus)
(Paduan suara)
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Over the rails he’d go
Di atas rel yang dia kunjungi
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack
Braving rain and snow
Menawan hujan dan salju
Ev’ryone knew three-eighty-two was his train
Evyry tahu tiga-delapan puluh dua adalah keretanya
Casey Jones was his name
Casey Jones adalah namanya
From Memphis, Tennessee
Dari Memphis, Tennessee
On that Cannonball Express
Di Cannonball Express itu
By the wining of the whistle
Dengan kemenangan peluit
You could tell him from the rest
Anda bisa menceritakannya dari yang lain
Past the old plantations
Melewati perkebunan tua
With their cotton and cane
Dengan kapas dan tebu mereka
Casey Jones was his name
Casey Jones adalah namanya
(Repeat chorus)
(Ulangi paduan suara)
Runnin’ late thru Sardis
Terlambat Runnin sampai Sardis
Past Winona on the fly
Lewatkan Winona dengan cepat
Like lightnin’ chasin’ thunder
Seperti guntur lightnin ‘chasin’
Thru the stairways of the sky
Melalui tangga di langit
When we heard his engine moanin’
Saat kami mendengar mesinnya moanin ‘
And the story is claimed
Dan ceritanya diklaim
Casey Jones was his name
Casey Jones adalah namanya
Then on that fatal night
Lalu pada malam yang fatal itu
He made his final run
Dia berhasil lolos
Near Vaughan, Mississippi
Dekat Vaughan, Mississippi
He knew his time had come
Dia tahu waktunya telah tiba
Too late he saw the (?)
Terlambat dia melihat (?)
Of an old freight train
Dari kereta barang tua
Now a legend, Casey Jones was his name
Sekarang sebuah legenda, Casey Jones adalah namanya
(Repeat chorus)
(Ulangi paduan suara)
