Sweet Carrie

Lyrics

Hard work, low pay, tired aching back
 Earning by the sweat on my brow
 12 full hours in this manmade hole
 Doin' what they taught me how
 Chorus
 I'm a spike drivin' railway son-of-a-gun
 Working on the southern line
 14 miles through this mountain side
 Working with sweet Carrie on my mind
 The boss man's mean he's full of hate
 Livin' on the workers sweat
 The steaks he eats keeps him good and fat
 Soup beans is all we get
 Chorus
 From daylight to dark we work in the tunnel
 Scared of a bad cave-in
 Ain't got enough eat to or money to buy with
 No insurance for our kin
 Chorus 2x
