Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh
[Verse A-1]
G# Fm
For many, many years, I don't know just how long
C# G#
Two Harbors was a booming railroad town
Fm
But '63 brought misery
C# G#
And the town is black with mourn
[Verse A-2]
Fm
The great iron horse no more will trail
C# G#
That straight and lonesome steel rail
Fm
Well I sat and cried the day the railroad died
C# D# G#
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Verse B-1]
C# G#
The hoghead ran that iron horse,
D# G#
And lord, he ran her hard
C# G#
She hauled those ore cars from the range
A#m D#
Into the railroad yard
[Verse A-3]
G# Fm
The tallow pot, he sweat and fed
C# G#
That demon coal and more
Fm
She needed fuel, and fire and steam,
C# D# G#
To haul that iron ore.
[Verse B-2]
C# G#
The mallet finally came to rest
D# G#
Inside the railroad shop
C# G#
Nut splitters took good care of her
A#m D#
Amidst the laugh and talk
[Verse A-4]
G# Fm
Of men with pride who took their work
C# G#
And did it fast and well
Fm
No longer does the din ring out
C# D# G#
Since that black day of hell
[Verse B-3]
C# G#
The slings of slag john steel rail
D# G#
Won't crack the aching back
C# G#
Those gandy dancers who used to lay
A#m D#
The glisten railroad tracks
[Verse A-5]
G# Fm
My kith and kin were railroad folks
C# G#
But now our town's in dread
Fm
I tell you true, I don't know what I'll do
C# D# G#
The railroad is dead
[Verse B-4]
C# G#
No more to laugh or work with ore
D# G#
How long can I be brave?
C# G#
The legend of the railroad
A#m D#
Has settled in the grave
[Verse A-6]
G# Fm
That was my life and now it's spent
C# G#
The company said to spare expense
G# Fm
Well, I sat and cried the day the railroad doed
C# D# G#
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Outro]
