Talking Casey - Mississippi John Hurt
TALKIN' CASEY (open E tuning)
(from the Oberlin College Concert) E throughout
Casey Casey Don't leave me here
Casey Jones Please don't leave me here
Little chidren commenced callin' cryin'
Daddy don't leave me here
College
Daddy don't leave me here
He couldn't stand that
He told the fireman said
Get the bell let's go
I heard the bell somethin' like this
Shortly after that he's gone
I heard the drive wheel jump the joints
'Bout time he got switched 'n' runnin' he run up on some sheep
Blowed for 'em to get off the tracks but they wouldn't get off
He had to stop his train
Blowin' somethin' like this
I heard him when he's cuttin' down 'fore he stopped
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
After that I heard him
He was runnin' so fast looked like them
Drive wheels 'bout to catch up with them litte truck wheels
People all got scared though it was gonna make a wreck
Which it did
One lady commenced singin' Lord have mercy
Save me Lord
Well Lord have mercy
Oh Lord Oh Lord have mercy
Save me Lord
Oh Lord don't leave me
Oh Lord Oh Lord don't leave me
Save me Lord
