lyrics

This job I got is just a little too hard
Runnin' out of money lord I need more to pay
Gonna wake up in the morning lord I'm gonna pack my bags
Gonna beat it on down the line.

Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, Gonna beat it on down the line
Goin' down the line, Gonna beat it on down the line

Yeah I'll be waitin' at the station lord when that train rolls on by
Goin' back where I belong
I'm going up north to that same ol' used to be
Way down in Joe Brown's coal mine

Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, way down in Joe Browns coal mine
Coal mine, way down in Joe Browns coal mine

Yeah I'm goin' back to that shack way across the railroad track
Goin' back where I belong
Got a sweet woman lord she's a-waitin' there for me
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home

Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
Happy home, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
