walkin' boss,
walkin' boss,
walkin' boss,
no I don't belong to you
I belong,
I belong,
I belong,
to that steel driving crew
asked the boss
for a job
just a job
he said son, what can you do
chorus
line a track
ball a jack
I can lie
I can pick and shovel too
chorus
work one day
just one day
just one day
then go sleep in a shanty too
chorus

Annabelle Lee

Many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea
There lived a maiden you may know
By the name of Annabelle Lee
No other thought did trouble her mind
But to love and be loved by me
We were children both in a kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love,
I and my Annabelle Lee
With a love that the winged angels high
Coveted her and me
This was the reason long ago in a kingdom by the sea
That the wind blew out from a stormy cloud
And took my Annabelle Lee
And then her wicked brothers came
To steal her away from me
They shut her up in a tomb below this kingdom by the sea
But no maiden's grave can sever my soul
From the love she bore for me
For the moon don't beam without a dream
Of my darling Annabelle Lee
For many a year I wander through this kingdom by the sea
I lay myself beside the bones
Of my darling Annabelle Lee
I'll make my bed in the rising tide
In her tomb by the sounding sea

Walk On Boy

I was born one morning
The rain came a-pouring down
I heard my mammy say to my pappy
let's call him John Henry Brown
walk on boy
walk on down the road
ain't nobody in this whole wide world
gonna help you carry your load
I left my mammy and pappy
just about the age of ten
lord, I got me a job working on the levee
toting water for the hard-working men
chorus
the rich men make all the money
the poor man does all the work
the rich man's sitting mighty high on the horse
while the poor boys are living on dirt
chorus
one day my pappy told me
some advice I want to give to you
son, find a good woman, be good to her,
and she's gonna be good to you
chorus
if anyone should ever ask you
just who is that John Henry Brown
you can tell him I'm the boy who left his hammer smoking
when he beat that steam drill down
chorus

I'm going down on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
white freight liner, won't you steal away my mind
New Mexico ain't bad, lord
people there treat you fine
white freight liner, won't you steal away my mind
oh lord I gotta ramble
'til I get back to where I came
white freight liner, won't you steal away my mind
I'm going down on the highway
listen to them big trucks whine
white freight liner, won't you steal away my mind

saw the trucks coming down the line
saw the trucks coming down the line
headed to that injection site
put my hands to the grille, I said driver, it's gonna be alright
cops came down, put the handcuffs on
cops came down, put the handcuffs on
said son, you can move or you can stay the night
said sorry officer, it's gonna be alright
can I get a meal, hungry as I am?
can I get a meal, hungry as I am?
jailor said son, it's gonna be ham
Ben said sorry officer, I think I'll be alright
Jackson singin' in the county jail
Amazing Grace in the county jail
prisoners shouted I have lost my sight
Jackson singin', it's gonna be alright
Jeremy said gonna fight the charge
gonna go to court, gonna fight the charge
judge said son, don't try to fight
sorry judge, but it's gonna be alright
Lindsey's mom said you're coming home
Lindsey's dad said you're coming home
we don't want you on the road no more
sorry mom and dad, but it's gonna be alright
staring down a fracking well
staring down a fracking well
said baby, baby, I seen hell
it's gonna be a long, long night

Trail Song

oh will the sun come up
over the mountaintop
and painted colors swirl across the sky
woken from a dream
together the people sing
there's a thousand golden rays on the horizon
well children if you step on up
into the line
and walk along the trail of time
the people waiting close behind
will follow
and the birds will fly from their nests
sail the sky from east to west
gathering the sunshine for tomorrow
there's a thousand golden rays on the horizon

The Wheel
03:56

the wheel has turned one full circle
time for my meal of wood
to make my home, lord, in a stable spoke, lord
inside a turning wheel would be good
to make my home, lord, in a stable spoke, lord
inside a turning wheel bound for good
I'd die in your jails, lord, but you'd die by my laws, lord
I think you've got it worse
no rebel I, lord, I follow the river
when I'm lost, when I'm lost
the wheel has turned one full circle
the payload is now immense
climb aboard all, climb aboard
'cause the heavier we get, the heavier we get,
the harder to crush us
'cause the heavier we get, the heavier we get,
the harder to crush us
the wagon rolls like an old millstone
driving bad deeds six feet deep
to make my home, lord, in a stable spoke, lord
inside a turning wheel would be good
to make my home, lord, in a stable spoke, lord
inside a turning wheel bound for good
