Face to face with Christ my Sav-ior,

Je-sus Christ who died for me?

The work-ers on the S. P.
-6 6 7 7 7 7 6
Line to strike sent out a call
6 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6
But Cas-ey Jones, the en-gin-eer,
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7
He would-n't strike at all.
6 7 7 7 7 7 -7
His boil-er it was leak-ing
-6 6 7 7 7 7 6
And his driv-ers on the bum,
5-5 6 6 6 6 6 -6
A-nd Cas-ey and his en-gine
6 -5 5 -4 -4 4
they were all out of plumb.
(chorus)
5 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8 7
Cas-ey Jones kept his junk-pile run-ning,
5 6 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8
Cas-ey Jones was work-ing dou-ble time.
5 6 6 6 7 -8 8 7 -8 7
Cas-ey Jones he got a wood-en med-al,
5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 -6
F-or be-ing good and faith-ful
6 -5 5 -4 4
on the S. P. Line.

8 -8 8 -9 8
when this life is o'er
7 -6 -6 6

To a home on God's ce-les-tial shore,

I'll fly a-way,

I'll fly a-way, O glo-ry,

When I die, hal-le-lu-jah, by and by,

I'll fly a-way.

To pre-pare us a dwell-ing place there.
