Verse:

C            D
This old engine makes it on time,
F                      G
Leaves central station ’bout a quarter to nine,
C               D
Hits river junction at seventeen to,
    F     Em        Am         G7
At a quarter to ten you know it’s travlin’ again.

Chorus:

C        C#  D
Trouble ahead, Ohhhh lady in red,
F                   G
Take my advice you’d be better off dead.
C                     D
Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is
F       Em      Am      G7
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Chorus:

C                 D
Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
    F                 G
Got two good eyes but you still don’t see.
C                    D
Come round the bend, you know it’s the end,
    F   Em       Em         G7
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...


Chorus:

C             F
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
F                 C
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
C           F
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
F                     C
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
