This Is No Train and I’m No Engineer Lyrics

Mrs. Jones' maiden name Susan Roberts

Danny Jones her husband loving nice

Their second boy named for her father Casey

Middle name William, and no thinking twice

In school young Casey had a little bit of trouble

When his birth name was heard in class

Teacher said Casey Jones the kids would titter

And young Casey knew he couldn't let this pass

Casey Jones, yeah that's my name

Casey Jones, I want you to hear

Call me William

Let me spell this out

This is no train and I'm no engineer

C.William Jones was a model student

Earned five Masters and a Ph.D.

Was nominated as French ambassador

A mocking senator said Mr. Casey

Casey Jones, yeah that's my name

Casey Jones, I want you to hear

Call me William

Let me spell this out

This is no train and I'm no engineer

I'd like to say that the Senator was sorry

It's sad when the powerful don't felt any shame

Some get attention by being mean and so rude

Me, I gonna use someone's chosen name

Casey Jones, yes that's my name

Casey Jones, I want you to hear

Call me William

Let me spell this out

This is no train and I'm no engineer

Casey Jones, yes that's my name

Casey Jones, I want you to hear

Call me William

Let me spell this out

This is no train and I'm no engineer
