HAS ANYBODY HERE SEEN CASEY' JONES ?
O	where, o where is that awful noise That we all were wont to hear ?
The noise that passed us boys And filled us all with mortal fear. ?
Fear for the driver and his pal,
Who rode right by his side Around the town, up and down,
On many a mid-night ride.
The owl in the pine tree high Will miss that high-speed sound,
That had him always on the fly,
And chased him all around.
The farmers along the Gainesville Lane At night, when plowing?s through,
Can let their cattle out againj At the falling of the. dew.
The shell roads need no fixing now; There?s no one here to ride;
And why ride anyhow,
If not a mile-a-minute glide 1
The show girls who hit this town Will find a lonesome place.
No more joy ride3 up and down,
Killing time and covering spa,ce.
No more ?Sparkling? and home-made bread,
At one lone dollajj a throw. !
Those days are gone, are dead;
My------, but this place is alow! ***
