Casey Jones (Grateful Dead song)

The engineer's exploits were also sung of in an earlier folk song called "The Ballad of Casey Jones", which the Grateful Dead played live several times.

[citation needed] The music was written by Jerry Garcia, and the lyrics are by Robert Hunter.

[2] The Grateful Dead played "Casey Jones" in concert on a regular basis from June 1969 through October 1974.

[4] The song was interpreted by artist Nina Paley in the 1990s comic book Grateful Dead Comix.

There is a character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise named Casey Jones, but there seems to be no confirmed connection.
