And the great barge sank
And the Okies fled
And the great emancipater
Took a bullet in the head

In the head
Took a bullet in the back of the head

It was not December
Was not in May
Was the 14th of April
That is ruination day

That's the day,
The day that is ruination day

They were one
They were two
They were three
They were four
They were five hundred miles from their home

From their home
They were five hundred miles from their home

When the iceberg hit
Well they must have known
That God moves on the water Casey Jones

Casey Jones
God moves on the water Casey Jones
