Lyrics
Well this job I've got
is just a little too hard
Running out of money,
Lord, I need more pay
Gonna wake up in the morning
Lord, gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line.
I'm goin' down the line,
(goin' down the line)
Beat it down the line.
Well I'll be waiting at the station
Lord, when that trains pulls on by,
I'm going back where I belong.
I'm going back to that same old used-to-be,
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine.
(Coal mine)
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine.
Yeah, I'm alone I'm goin' back to that shack way across that railroad track,
Uh huh, that's where I think I belong.
Got a sweet woman,
Lord, and she's waiting there for me.
And that's where I'm gonna make
my happy home.
(Happy home)
That's where I'm gonna make
my happy home.
