Stephen or Steven ( /ˈstiːvən/) is a masculine first name, derived from the Greek name Στέφανος (Stephanos) meaning "crown, garland", in turn from the Greek word "στέφανος", meaning "wreath, crown, honour, reward", literally "that which surrounds or encompasses". In ancient Greece, a wreath was given to the winner of a contest (from which the crown, symbol of rulers derived). The use of the noun was first recorded in Homer's Iliad. The name is significant to Christians: according to the Book of Acts in the New Testament, Saint Stephen was a deacon who was stoned to death and is regarded as the first Christian martyr. The name has many variants, which include Stephan, Stevan, Stefan and Stevon.
In Middle English, the name Stephen or Stephan was pronounced as a bi-syllabic word — Step-hen or Step-han — much like a Scandinavian surname. Steve was pronounced as it is in Modern English. This etymological usage began a decline in the mid-19th century.
Steve is the common short form, while various diminutives such as Stevie are also used. Many family names are derived from Stephen: the most common are Stephens/Stevens and Stephenson/Stevenson (others include Stephen, Stephan, Staphan, Stefan, Stevin and Stever).
John Luther ("Casey") Jones (March 14, 1863 – April 30, 1900) was an American railroad engineer from Jackson, Tennessee, who worked for the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). As a boy, he lived near Cayce, Kentucky, where he acquired the nickname of "Cayce" which he chose to spell as "Casey." On April 30, 1900, he alone was killed when his passenger train, the Cannonball Express, collided with a stalled freight train at Vaughan, Mississippi, on a foggy and rainy night.
His dramatic death, trying to stop his train and save lives, made him a hero; he was immortalized in a popular ballad sung by his friend Wallace Saunders, an African American engine wiper for the IC.
Dark-haired Mary Joanna ("Janie") Brady, daughter of the boarding house owner, noticed Jones' remarkable appetite and the way he blushed whenever she flashed him a smile. Jones soon fell in love with her and decided to propose marriage. Since she was Catholic, he decided to be baptized on November 11, 1886 at St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Whistler, Alabama, to please her. They were married at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Jackson on November 25, 1886, and bought a house at 211 West Chester Street in Jackson, where they raised three children. By all accounts he was a devoted family man and teetotaler.

Why did you go so far away?
When all I wanted was for you to please stay
I've been sleeping these months away
Cause Stephen you're my night and day
All of those times
That I was unkind
Can't stop regretting
Memories stuck in my mind
Something I just don't know what to say
Stephen you're my night and day
There was a time
When I would say that things would be okay
But not today
I've been sleeping these months away
Cause Stephen you're my night and day
Cause Stephen
Oh Stephen
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
November 10th, a cold dark night
Oh, you could feel that something wasn't right
That night many hearts did cry
When we learned we had to say goodbye
All embraced under one common song
The body is dead but life lives on
Goodbye Steven, goodbye you friend
You were so young, you were so young
Goodbye Steven, goodbye you friend
You were so, so young
The cars lined the streets, as it was coming to an end
The sun shined so brightly, the day we buried our friend
All embraced under one common song
The body is dead but life lives on
Goodbye Steven, goodbye you friend
You were so young, you were so young
Goodbye Steven, goodbye you friend
You were so young, you were so young
Losing in the fall, lost innocence came down
An 18 year old boy was buried in the ground
A family's broken hearts, a friend's streaming tears
The light lost in death, the living's growing fears
Of eternal darkness or spiritual light
To come with terms with death on the darkest night
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend
A mother lost a son but Steven's soul will never end, never end
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend
A mother lost a son but Steven's soul will never end
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend
A mother lost a son but Steven's soul will never end
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend
A mother lost a son but Steven's soul will never end
[Incomprehensible]
We're southern boys with western smiles
We've got it where it counts
See it for miles
Our hearts are gold and our teeth are clouded
Our bones are thin and our lips are shrouded
In mystery
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
If only I could let that poor boy go
Skinny body, skinny body
Skinny body, skinny body
Won't you pick my pieces up from the floor
I'm up here on the shelf, I'm here
When it comes to perfect smiles, I'm fast
I hope you feel as I do, I do
'Cause we're southern boys with western smiles
We're southern boys with western smiles
Stephen, Stephen
Seems that I've been left up here on the shelf again
If you'd come I'd surely dust my skinny bones down
I'd give you every single dream you wanted
I'd even smile for you
I'd even cry if you just want me to
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles, when Stephen smiles
You'll know, you'll know, 'cause you'll know
You'll know, 'cause you'll know
Skinny body, skinny body
Stephen, king of everything
Stephen, you think of everything
Carry me to the fountain of youth
I'll go anywhere if anywhere's with you
Oh Stephen, king of everything
Stephen, please don't say anything
Stephen, take off your wedding ring
People may say that you've lost your way
I'll stand by you forever and a day
Oh Stephen, king of everything
Stephen was a stable groom
He watered five foals all and some
Ere the morning star was risen
Nor daylight to be seen
He saw a star was fair and bright
Over Bedl'em standing
Of a truth the Prophet now is born
That all the world shall ransom
He leads the foals from water
By that star so gleaming
And he is gone into the hall
Where Herod sat amusing
There is a child in Bedl'em born
And He is better than we all
Herod answered thus to Him
I'll not believe your story
I'll not believe your story, boy
Till the ragged bird that is on the board
Claps his wings and crows my Lord
In truth it is his birthday
Now Herod sat and he did wait
The bird came together on the plate
Feathered was he never so fair
As he flew up on the red gold chair
He clapped his wings and he crew so fair
My Lord this is his birthday
And Herod down from his kingly seat
In grief has fell a swooning
Stephen was a stable groom
He watered five foals all and some
Ere the morning star was risen
Stephen, the flags at half-mast at the station
Theres a cloud hanging over this town
The wind blows apologies; the sun looks ashamed
As it hides out behind Portadown
And out there are children still raised on old anger
Who believe theres a reason to fight
A piece of lands only a piece of land
And you will not come home tonight
Stephen, the uniformed visitors came,
Unexpectedly, late yesterday
I opened the door to a man and a woman
And I knew what theyd come here to say
Oh, Ive never seen any darkness so deep
As the moment when I clicked off the light
And a piece of lands only a piece of land
But you will not come home tonight
Stephen, the news has been filled with your picture
It seems the whole world knows your name
And would you believe there was Martin McGuinness
Out condemning these bastards to blame?
Oh, Ive never seen so much orange and green
Come together on a thin strip of white
Still, a piece of lands only a piece of land
And you will not come home tonight
Yes, a piece of lands only a piece of land
Why did you go so far away?
When all I wanted was for you to please stay
I've been sleeping these months away
Cause Stephen you're my night and day
All of those times
That I was unkind
Can't stop regretting
Memories stuck in my mind
Something I just don't know what to say
Stephen you're my night and day
There was a time
When I would say that things would be okay
But not today
I've been sleeping these months away
Cause Stephen you're my night and day
Cause Stephen
Oh Stephen
Cause Stephen you're my night and day
