Track Lining chords by Leon Bibb
Verse 1
Am
Oh, boys,
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
Am
and my buddies lay that steel rail down.
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?
D
See all the boys go line and track
Am
Well gather round boys,
C
grab a hold of this track
Am
Raise it up high, but don't break your back
D
If you set it down easy,
you set it down slow
You won't have to move
it but a little bit more

If the boss sees you loafing,

C
bar under that track
Raise the sky high,

Jack -of -all -trades, little David the Bear
Move that steel rail just a hair
