歌词
The Workers on the S. P. line to strike sent out a call;
S.P.铁道公司的工人们发出罢工号召
But Casey Jones, the engineer, he wouldn't strike at all;
但工程师Casey Jones根本没有兴趣
His boiler it was leaking, and its drivers on the bum,
他就折腾那漏水的锅炉和失控的联动器
And his engine and its bearings, they were all out of plumb.
折腾那失灵的发动机和轴承
Casey Jones kept his junk pile running;
Casey Jones 折腾他的破铜烂铁
Casey Jones was working double time;
Casey Jones 总爱加班加点
Casey Jones got a wooden medal,
最后他从老板那里得到了木头奖牌
For being good and faithful on the S. P. line.
作为忠心耿耿的奖赏
The workers said to Casey: "Won't you help us win this strike?"
同事们问他：“何不一起参加罢工？”
But Casey said: "Let me alone, you'd better take a hike."
他说：“你们哪里凉快哪里呆着去！”
Well Casey's wheezy engine ran right off the wheezy track
罢工时有人把枕木叠在铁轨上
And Casey hit the river with an awful smack.
于是Casey和出轨的火车一起冲进河
Casey Jones hit the river bottom;
Casey Jones 沉到了河底
Casey Jones broke his blooming spine;
Casey Jones 摔断了他的脊椎
Casey Jones turned into an angel.
Casey Jones 成了天使
He got a trip to heaven on the S. P. line.
他乘着S.P.铁道公司的火车上了天堂
When Casey got up to heaven, to the Pearly Gate,
当Casey来到天堂门口，来到大天使彼得面前
He said: "I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S. P. freight."
他自报门户：“我是Casey Jones，在S.P.铁道公司拉货的。”
"You're just the man," said Peter, "our musicians are on strike;
“就是你了！”大天使彼得说，“我们的乐工也在搞罢工，
You can get a job a-scabbing any time you like."
你就负责打入其中搞破坏。随时可以上岗。”
Cascy Jones got a job in heaven
Casey Jones 进到天堂里
Casey Jones was doing mighty fine;
Casey Jones 他忠心耿耿
Casey Jones went scabbing on the angels,
Casey Jones 混进天使中间当工贼
Just like he did to workers on the S. P. line.
就是他在S.P,铁道公司的老本行
The Angels' got together, and they said it wasn't fair,
天使们聚到一起，说这不公平
For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere.
Casey Jones怎么到处搞破坏？
The Angels' Union No. 23, they sure were there,
他们发现Casey混进了天使23号工会
And they promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stairs.
就马上把他逐出了天堂
Casey Jones went to Hell a-flying;
Casey Jones 堕入了地狱
"Casey Jones," the Devil said, "Oh fine:
“是Casey Jones啊”，魔鬼说
Casey Jones, get busy shovelling sulphur;
Casey Jones 被罚去挖矿永不停歇
That's what you get for scabbing on the S. P. Line."
这就是在S.P.铁道公司当工贼的报应
