        Stupid man
        hitchhiking out of a good life in Saskatchewan
        And he thinks he's got big, big plans
        gonna build a house upon some land

        Oh Casey, don't it make you crazy
        oh, when you're living all alone by that damn water
        Oh Casey, don't it make you crazy
        when you're living all alone by those still waters

        Please say hello, please say hello
        to my little baby daughter
        Oh Casey, tell her that her father's gonna be coming home
        so soon, so soon to see her

        Well I'm shooting down the turnpike
        with the driver doin' 95 or maybe more
        don't you think he's loaded, drunk
        or that he thinks that life's a bore, oh
        Casey, oh Casey, don't you know how it makes me so damn crazy
        living all alone by those waters

        But please say hello, but please say hello
        to my little baby daughter
        Please, please, won't you just give her a great big kiss
        then tell her that her stupid daddy will be coming home soon

        Oh Casey, oh Casey, don't you know I made me so damn crazy
        when I was living there all alone by those still waters
        But please tell, please tell my baby, baby, baby daughter
        that I'm tied up now but I'll be home soon
        and I'll be the daddy that I oughta

        Please say hello, oh Casey, please say hello
        from a stupid man
        Still my little baby daughter a big, big, big kiss
        and tell her that her daddy will be coming home soon
        But Casey, don't you know I made me so damn crazy
        when I was living there all alone
        But won't you please give my, give my baby daughter
        a great big stupid kiss
        and tell her that her stupid father will be coming home soon
        Stupid man
