Spike Drivin' Blues |
| I musta been born |
| With steel in my hand |
| Probably gonna die |
| A Spike Drivin' Man |
| I just lay the rail |
| I don’t drive a train |
| But if it jumps the track |
| I’m gonna hear my name |
| Train master says |
| This train better roll |
| Gotta pull the big boss’s |
| Cars of coal |
| So I work all night |
| In the pouring rain |
| I hate the train master |
| And I hate his train |
| Trains roll on and on |
| Don’t never turn me lose |
| I toss and turn all night long |
| Got the Spike Drivin Blues |
| On my way home |
| Train blocks the road |
| Always make me wait |
| Make supper cold |
| Then me and my wife |
| Go to sleep in our bed |
| 'Till the high ball comes |
| And wakes the dead |
| Used to ride the caboose |
| Used to run the brake |
| 'Till the bossman said |
| That job ain’t' safe |
| Now I’m back on the rail |
| A hammer in my hand |
| I know I’m gonna die |
| A Spike Drivin' Man |
| Spike Drivin' Blues |
| Drive a man insane |
| I hate the train master |
| And I hate his train |
