[Verse A-1]
G Em
For many, many years, I don't know just how long
C G
Two Harbors was a booming railroad town
Em
But '63 brought misery
C G
And the town is black with mourn
[Verse A-2]
Em
The great iron horse no more will trail
C G
That straight and lonesome steel rail
Em
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
Am D
Into the railroad yard
[Verse A-3]
G Em
The tallow pot, he sweat and fed
C G
That demon coal and more
Em
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
Am D
Amidst the laugh and talk
[Verse A-4]
G Em
Of men with pride who took their work
C G
And did it fast and well
Em
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
Am D
The glisten railroad tracks
[Verse A-5]

My kith and kin were railroad folks

But now our town's in dread

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
Am D
Has settled in the grave
[Verse A-6]
G Em
That was my life and now it's spent

The company said to spare expense

Well, I sat and cried the day the railroad doed
C D G
Oh lord, what will I do?
