Down in the Track |
Tom johnston |
I been workin the whole day long |
On these railroad ties singin a sad, sad song |
Down the track is a bad way to live |
The boss mans whip is all hes got to give |
And late at night in the twilight of the south |
They put you in a cell and let the bulldogs out |
The old cat down the way |
Well hes singin out the blues |
cause hes got no one back home |
Oh, somebody sighed |
Next day comes they send you back out on the track |
All that sweat be drippin down off your back |
Everybodys singin a workin mans song |
Hopin they dont have to feel the whip on their bone |
The water boy slowly works his way around |
A bucket full of swamp water weighin him down |
Old squezer walker just fell out on the ground |
And theyre draggin his body away |
Oh, my, my, my Well, theres talk around camp |
That theres gonna be a fight |
Old razor face and willie black |
The meanest dudes in sight |
Ones got a razor and the others got a knife |
But only ones gonna walk out alive |
Oh, baby, mama, get me out of here |
Cant stand no more |
This place is gonna be the death of me Believe to my soul that I gotta be free |
Theres only one way that its every gonna be Thats when the angels come and take me away |
Well, now |
Oh, baby, mama, get me out of here |
Cant stand no more |
This place is gonna be the death of me Believe to my soul that I gotta be free |
Theres only one way that its every gonna be Thats when the angels come and take me away |
Well, now |
