1.	Dandy-O 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Now we are ready to sail for the Horn Weigh hey, roll and go! Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn To be rollicking randy dandy-O! [Chorus] Heave a pawl, O heave away! Weigh hey, roll and go! The anchor's on board and the cable's all stored To be rollicking randy dandy-O! Soon we'll be warping her out through the locks Weigh hey, roll and go! Where the pretty young girls all come down in their frocks To be rollicking randy dandy-O! [Chorus] Come breast the bars, bullies, heave her away Weigh hey, roll and go! Soon we'll be rolling her down through the Bay To be rollicking randy dandy-O! [Chorus]
2.	Casey Jones 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Come all you rounders if you wanna hear The story about a brave engineer Casey Jones was the roller's name On a 6-8-wheeler course he rode to fame Caller called Casey 'bout half past four He kissed his wife at the station door He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand Said "this is the trip to the Promised Land" Casey Jones, climbed in the cabin Casey Jones, orders in his hand Casey Jones, leanin' out the window Takin' a trip to the Promised Land Through South Memphis Yards on a fly Rain been a fallin' and the water was high Everybody knew by the engine's moan That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones Well Jones said "Fireman now don't you fret" Sim Webb said "I ain't a givin' up yet" We're eight hours late with the southbound mail We'll be on time or we're leavin' the rails --- Dead on the rail was a passenger train Blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain Casey said "Hey, look out ahead, Sim, jump, Sim, jump, or we'll all be dead!" With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake North Mississippi was wide awake IC railroad officials said "He's a good engineer to be a laying dead" --- Headaches and heartaches and all kind of pain Are all a part of the railroad train Sweat and toil, the good and the grand Are part of the life of a railroad man

5.	Railroad Bill 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Rail-road Bill, Rail-road Bill He never worked, and he never will And it's ride, ride, ride Rail-road Bill's a mighty mean man Shot the light out of the poor brake-man's hand Rail-road Bill, up on a hill Lighting a cigar with a ten-dollar bill Rail-road Bill took my wife If I didn't like it, going to take my life Going on a mountain, going out west Thirty-eight special sticking out of my vest Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm Shoot everybody ever done me harm Got a thirty-special in a forty-five frame I can't miss 'cause I got dead aim Rail-road Bill, he ain't so bad Whipped his mama, shot his old dad Early one morning, standing in the rain Round the bend come a long freight train Rail-road Bill a-coming home soon Killed McMillan by the light of the moon McMillan had a special train When they got there they was praying Kill me a chicken, send me the wing They think I'm working, Lord, I ain't doing a thing Kill me a chicken, send me the head Think I'm working, Lord, I'm laying in bed Going to drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind The doctor said it'd kill me but he didn't say when
6.	Out at Sea 03:31	lyrics	buy track
It won’t be long until we set sail Out at sea but not alone As she rolls away from the sand, You will leave behind everyone you’ve ever known All the voices outside my mind Demand apology Broken heart is sacrifice For the open sea where you’ll find your true destiny So take your time It’ll take it all What is worse: Never to try or never to fall? So take your time It’ll take a while In the end, You’re out to find whatever makes you smile Sailing away from me At sea but not alone If treasure is what you seek, There is hardship everywhere you roam So take your time It’ll take it all What is worse: Never to try or never to fall? So take your time It’ll take a while In the end, You’re out to find whatever makes you smile x2
