Key: A minor
Verse 1
Em
Am
are you riding down God's road?
Me and my buddy,
they're called track riders,
and we've laid all the railroad
track
that crisscrossed this country.
From the Cannonball Express rolling
through the Rocky Mountains,
to the Union Pacific at the Frisco Tower.
C
Am
Some freighters in flat cars
and big gondolas.
Ain't none of them can move
D
till me
Me? I'm the chanty man.
I sing out all the rhythms
that the men work by
and give them the beat. It goes like this.
Em
Am
Oh boys, can't you line up?
Oh boys, can't you line up?
Oh boys, can't you line up?
Am
Raise it up high, but don't break your back
you set it down slow
You won't have to move
it but a little bit more

Hey, little Joe, don't you go getting tired
If the boss sees you loafing,
then you're bound to get fired
Raise the sky high,
D
Jack -of -all -trades, little David the Bear
Move that steel rail just a hair
C

D
See all the boys go line and track
Grab a hold of your hammer
and squeeze it tight

Let's drive them schmikes into the ground
It won't take long, it will all go to town
