歌词翻译 (Chinese)
工贼凯西·琼斯(Gongzei Kaixi·Qiongsi)
铁路公司的工人们发出了罢工的号召
可是工贼凯西·琼斯却不肯行动
他的锅炉漏着水,引擎嗡嗡响
他的驱动器和轴承都失控了
凯西·琼斯,折腾着烂铁破铜
凯西·琼斯,整天加着班
凯西·琼斯,老板赏了他一个木奖牌
只因他在公司忠心耿耿地工作
工人们也邀请他一起来罢工
可是凯西·琼斯让他们“哪儿凉快哪儿待去!"
罢工时不知谁把枕木丢在铁轨上
轰隆轰隆,凯西的车翻入了小河
凯西·琼斯,摔倒小河底
凯西·琼斯,摔伤了筋骨
凯西·琼斯,变成了天使
乘着公司的火车他飞升上天堂
凯西·琼斯来到了天堂大门,珠宝装饰着
他说他是给S.P.公司拉货的
天使彼得告诉他乐师们在罢工
“你随时可以混进去搞破坏!”
凯西·琼斯,在天堂找了份差事
凯西·琼斯,他干的好极了
凯西·琼斯,在天堂里做工贼
就像他在S.P.公司的老本行一样
天使们一致认为这不公平,
凯西·琼斯都哪里都当工贼
天堂里也有一个天使的工会
他们马上把凯西·琼斯逐出了天堂
凯西·琼斯堕入了地狱
“凯西·琼斯,啊是你呀!”魔鬼对他说
凯西·琼斯在地狱里忙碌地挖掘
“这就是你当工贼的下场!”
原始歌词 (English)
Casey Jones the union scab
While the Workers on the S. P. line to strike sent out a call;
But Casey Jones, the engineer, he wouldn't strike at all;
His boiler it was leaking, and its engines on the bum,
And its drivers and its bearings, they were all out of plumb.
Casey Jones kept his junk pile running;
Casey Jones — he's working double time;
Casey Jones got a wooden medal,
For being good and faithful to the S. P. line.
Well, 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 some one put a railroad tie right across the track,
And Casey hit the river bottom with an awful crack.
Casey Jones hit the river bottom;
Casey Jones — he broke his blooming spine;
Casey Jones — he became an Angelino,
He took a trip to heaven on the S. P. line.
When Casey Jones got up to heaven, to the Pearly Gate,
He said: "I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S. P. freight."
"You're just the man," said Peter, "our musicians went on strike;
You can get a job a-scabbing any time you like."
Casey Jones a job in heaven;
Casey Jones was doing mighty fine;
Casey Jones went scabbing on the angels,
Just like he did to workers of the S. P. line.
Well, the angels got together, and they said it wasn't fair,
For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere.
The Angels' Union No. 23, they sure were there,
And they promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stairs.
Casey Jones went to Hell a-flying;
"Casey Jones," the Devil said, "Oh fine:
Casey Jones, get busy shovelling sulphur;
That's what you get for scabbing on the S. P. Line."
