1754 The Grateful Dead - Casey Jones

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511hgV2tvXL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
From: Workingman's Dead; Year: 1970; Genre: Rock
It's Memorial Day once again and thus I'm honouring "The Dead" by picking another one of their songs for the occasion. There's something that is just fitting about sitting back on a day off listening The Grateful Dead.
This is one of their more popular songs that is widely recognizable to mainstream/casual fans of The Dead. In this one they use folk hero and legendary train engineer Casey Jones for the subject matter of it, although they took some artistic liberties in the writing of the song.

Hear Casey Jones on YouTube.
