A traditional working song from the railways that I first included on the album Down by the Riverside

lyrics

Ho! boys is you right
I done done got right
All I hate about linin' track
Is these ole bars about to bust my back

Ho! boys cancha line em track
Ho! boys cancha line em track
Ho! boys cancha line em track
These ole bars bouta bust my back

Down in the holler below the field
Angels are working on my chariot wheel

Chorus

Mary and the baby sitting in the shade
Thinking bout the money I aint made

Chorus

Well I been on the river 19 and 10
Aint had no women like the driving me

Chorus

Moses stood on the red sea shore
Batting at the waves with a 2 by 4

Chorus

If I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood

Chorus

Mary, Mathy, Luke, and John
All them 'sciples dead and gone

Chorus

You keep talking bout the break ahead
Aint said nothing bout my hog and bread

Chorus

Intro as outro
