Pete Seeger - Casey Jones - The Union Scab (Шрейкбрекер) текст песни

The workers on the SP line to strike sent out a call;
But Casey Jones the engineer wouldn't strike at all.
His boiler it was leaking and his drivers on the bum,
And his engine and its bearings,they were all out of plumb.
Casey Jones kept his junkpile running,
Casey Jones was working double time.
Casey Jones got a woodenmedal
for being good and faithful on the SP Line.

The workers said to Casey,"Won't you help us win this strike?"
But Casey said,"Let me alone. You'd better take a hike!"
Then Casey's wheezy engine ran right off the worn-out track,
And Casey hit the river with an awful crack.
Casey Jones hit the river bottom,
Casey Jones broke his blooming spine.
Casey Jones became an angeleno,
and took a trip to heaven on the SP Line.

When Casey Jones got up to heaven-to the Pearly Gate,
He said,"I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the SP freight."
"You're just the man,"said Peter. "Our musicians are on strike;
You can get a job a-scabbing any time you like.
"Casey Jones got a job in heaven,
Casey Jones was doing mighty fine.
Casey Jones went a-scabbing on the angels,
Just like he did to wokers on the SP Line.

The angels got together and they said it wasn't fair,
For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere.
The angels union Local Twenty-Three it sure was there,
And they pronptly fired Casey down the Golden Stair.
Casey Jones went to hell a-flying,
Casey Jones,"the devil said, "oh fine.
Casey Jones,get busy shoveling sulphur;
That's what you get for scabbing on the SP Line.
