Way down yonder in Tennessee
They leased the convicts out
G 
A 
And put them workin' in the mines
Against free labor stout
D 
G 
Free labor rebelled against it
Doin' it took some time
A 
But while that lease was in effect
We made them rise and shine
D 
Buddy won't you roll down the line,
Buddy won't you roll down the line,
G 
Yonder comes my darlin'
A 
comin' down the line,
Buddy won't you roll down the line,
Buddy won't you roll down the line,
Yonder comes my darlin'
D 
comin' down the line
The beans they were half done,
the bread was not so well,
A 
The meat it was all burned up
and the coffee black as heck,
G 
D 
But when you'd get your tasks done
G 
and it's on the floor you'd fall
A 
Anything you get to eat,
G 
D 
it'll taste good, done, or raw.

Bank Boss, he's a hard man,
a man you all know well.
A 
If you don't get your task done,
he's gonna give you Hallelujah,

carry you to the stockade
On the floor you'll fall
A 
Very next thing that you will hear,
You better go get your poll

Buddy, yonder comes my darlin',
A 
Comin' down the line.
