Cancha Line Em Track

from Down By The Riverside by Lew Bear

/

about

A traditional working song from the American railroads. Recorded on the bridge next to the end of the railway line up from the Halt at Chapel Brampton

I used the wooden bridge as a stomp box

lyrics

Ho, boys, is you right?
I done done got right
All I hate about linin' track
These ol' bars 'bouta bust my back

Chorus:
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
These ol' bars 'bouta bust my back

Down in the holler below the field
Angels are workin' on my chariot wheel
Chorus

Mary and the baby sittin' in the shade
Thinkin' bout the money I ain't made
Chorus

Well, I bin on the river, nineteen and ten
But I aint 'ad no women like the drivin' men
Chorus

Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Battin' at the waves with a two-by-four
Chorus

Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Chorus

Mary, Marthy, Luke and John
All them 'ciples dead and gone
Chorus

Well you keep talkin' 'bout the break ahead
But you ain't said nothin' 'bout my hog an' bread
Chorus

Ho, boys, is you right?
I done got right
All I hate about linin' track
These ol' bars 'bout to bust my back
