Lyrics

Well this job I've got is just a little too hard
Running out of money, lord, I need more pay
Gonna wake up in the morning lord, gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line

I'm goin' down the line, goin down the line
Goin' down the line, goin down the line
Goin' down the line, goin down the line
Beat it on down the line

Yes I'll be waiting at the station lord, when that train pulls on by
I'm going back where I belong
I'm going back to that same old used-to-be
Down in joe brown's coal mine

Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine, coal mine
Down in joe brown's coal mine

Yeah, I'm goin' back to that shack way across that railroad track
Uh huh, that's where I think I belong
Got a sweet woman, lord, and she's waiting there for me
And that's where I'm gonna make my happy home

Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home, happy home, happy home
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
