CASEY JONES LYRICS
Come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his 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 taking 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 Sam Webb said we 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
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin

Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
Casey said hey now look out ahead jump Sam jump or we'll all be dead
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake
I see railroad official said he's a good engineer to be a laying dead
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin

Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain all the part of a railroad train
Sweat and toil the good and the grand part of the life of a railroad man
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin

I guess kids never change (that's me on the right).

 

I'd guess 1950's due to the 'buzz number' on the nose which would make it an F-51

Disclaimer - I'm no expert.......

 

From the info i found bettis airport closed in 1948..
Just found this.

"FF - North American P-51 F- "Photographic" designation in the next 8 discontinued in 1948):

FF - 1 Ftr Wing, Langley AFB, VA

 

A captured moment in the act of Thinking, followed by Doer.

 

Sophia Loren. A phrase sounding almost identical to 'doer' hath crossed minds the world over.

 

^^^^^ Note the posture of one said finger. A gesture to said photographer perhaps?

 

THAT is the finest coffee table I have EVER seen!!!

 

Like the 'Competition Rake' on this one... Early Gasser?

 

It could be from the vertical window in the camera shutter exposing one part of the picture before the other. The shutter moves from one side of the frame to the other at a constant speed, and the width of the window determines the shutter speed, or time of exposure. This distortion happens with fast moving objects. Looks like this shot had a pretty fast shutter speed to capture a spinning prop. It's what happened in that old race car picture from the early 1900s where a race car speeding by looks like it's leaning forward. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

55bird, thanks for that, it's good to know the truth! Damn I love this place, learn anything here!

Doc.
