Blind hot and fever shaking out of my brain
Ham fisted, hammer headed, hitting the road
Dirt in my eyes, bone and blood on my hands
I'm burnt, badly blistered mister hitting the road
Pain behind my eyes as I'm working the land
Brushing all the horseflies away with my hand
Prison guard looks down on me a-trailing his gun
Gotta go boy, go boy, go boy, go boy make me the run
Blind hot and fever shaking out of my brain
Ham fisted, hammer headed, hitting the road
Dirt in my eyes, bone and blood on my hands
I'm burnt, badly blistered mister hitting the road
Hit that goddamn hammer like it's busting my spine
Gotta get this railroad a-finished on time
The ropes around my wrists ain't nothing to the ropes in my soul
No rest for the wicked you gotta reach your goal
Hard, hard labour ten years on the chain
Make this damn railroad in the heat and the rain
Ankles ground down to the bone and grease on my hands
Gotta go boy, go boy working the land
The prison guard he hates me with fevers of hell
Hits me with the gun butt when I don't do so well
Give them a break, release me from these rusty chains
Build this damn railroad in the heat and the rain
Charged right this morning who working no more
Me I gotta pay my debt for breaking the law
But with my goddamn luck I'll find that when I die
Me who working in the dusty railroad in the sky
