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
