Keyzie Jones

A musical cartoon. This one has a long backstory. As for the history of the song — look up "Casey Jones" on Wikipedia (in Utesov's version the name is spelled with a "Z", "KeyZie", from the German). The song's roots, as they say, run deep. :) But I have my own history with this song. The record came to me from my grandparents who left us too soon, along with a prehistoric record player. This unusual-for-the-USSR song was played until the grooves wore out. In short, it's the song of my childhood. And mine alone. Because nobody else knew it. For a long time I kept trying to fit it in somewhere or sing it somehow, but it never worked out. And I realized that sooner or later I had to cover it, or else. . In Utesov's original version I only changed one line about the rails. Because in the original American song it was exactly that way. Restored historical justice, so to speak, removed the proletarian extremism. Anyway, hope it turned out fun. :) Enjoy!
