"Here" she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile!" "See" she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you!" "Lord!" she said, "Casey, can you only stay a while?" Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly, or the tear that's in his eye "Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me", "Now" she said, "now that you've a fam'ly of your own"; "Still" she said, "it's so blessed good to feel your body!" "Lord!" she said, "Casey, it's a shame to be alone!" </lyrics> {{CreditBox |writer = Kris Kristofferson }} {{SongFooter |fLetter = C |asin = B000XUJ96I |iTunes = 789885469?i=789885477 |allmusic = mt0011220929 |musicbrainz = 1da3a355-0b44-4470-ba24-ce41167e48e0 |spotify = 51ixKYFELQvEYoMcWOmg34 }} Templates used on the current version of this page: John Pearse (view source) John Pearse:Casey's Last Ride (view source) Kris Kristofferson (view source) Kris Kristofferson:Kristofferson (1970) (view source) Kris, Willie, Dolly & Brenda:The Winning Hand (1982) (view source) Waylon Jennings (view source) Waylon Jennings:Casey's Last Ride (view source) Talk:Kris Kristofferson:Casey's Last Ride (view source) Template:!
