1857 Steel Rail Blues Lyrics
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Some people are doomed to die
And others are meant to be saved
Been working on this railroad dang near all my life
Working on this railroad dang near all my life
My children all are grown and gone
And I barely got a wife
I got me some tools but they don't work so well
I got me some tools but they don't work so well
How will I get done it time?
Only time will tell
The sun is beating on me, it won't slow me down
The sun is beating on me, but it won't slow me down
Gotta lay another track steady on the ground
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Some people are doomed to die
And others are meant to be saved
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Some people are doomed to die
And others are meant to be saved
Working on this railroad dang near all my life
My children all are grown and gone
And I barely got a wife
I got me some tools but they don't work so well
How will I get done it time?
Only time will tell
The sun is beating on me, but it won't slow me down
Gotta lay another track steady on the ground
Lord, take this hammer and put it in the grave
Some people are doomed to die
And others are meant to be saved
