And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.”

And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
And old men vacant of propriety
Have faintly rung a next-door neighbors bell.”

Casey Jones, throttle in his hand,
Casey Jones mounted to the cabin,
Took his farewell journey to the Promised Land.”
