Casey Jones

[JerryVan]

The recent article in our excellent APS magazine, on the various recordings and history of Casey Jones, is very interesting. I didn't know that there were several versions of the song, with a wide variety of lyrics. I had always heard that the version of the song ending with, "...Mrs. Casey Jones, got another poppa on the Salt Lake Line...", had been particularly ruinous to her reputation, since such a claim was totally untrue. Do all versions include this "accusation"? I have only heard that version.
