Casey Jones was in "Something to Sing Book 1" when I first started teaching. But the words were different from those used for the TV programme - unsurprising as the original words told the story of the real Casey Jones's heroic death, something that never got mentioned (understandably) in the children's programme.

Here's the Furry Lewis version Eine. From Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. Furry of 'Joni's 'Furry Sings the Blues'. Wonderful.
