Drivin's hard on this iron mountain line Drivin's hard on this iron mountain line Every mile of track we lay there's a spike drivers grave Drivin's hard on this iron mountain line We don't rest on this iron mountain line We don't rest on this iron mountain line He said boy you'll get your rest when you work yourself to death We don't rest on this iron mountain line Pay is small on this iron mountain line Pay is small on this iron mountain line Work for little pay where they kill a mule a day Pay is small on this iron mountain line The devil rides on this iron mountain line The devil rides on this iron mountain line Better swing that handle well or you'll be shovellin' coal in hell The devil rides on this iron mountain line
