Hear the whistle blow far off in the still night without stars see the tracks laid flat |
|
With a hammer's might they're the spike driver's scars they're the spike driver's scars |
|
By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red it's all painted in red it's all painted in red |
|
The west springs up from the spike driver's blues |
|
And the captain's new shiny shoes take to him this hat |
|
And hammer and tell him i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone i'm gone |
|
By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it's all painted in red it's all painted in red it's all painted in red |
