Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh
[Verse A-1]
F Dm
For many, many years, I don't know just how long
A# F
Two Harbors was a booming railroad town
Dm
But '63 brought misery
A# F
And the town is black with mourn
[Verse A-2]
Dm
The great iron horse no more will trail
A# F
That straight and lonesome steel rail
Dm
Well I sat and cried the day the railroad died
A# C F
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Verse B-1]
A# F
The hoghead ran that iron horse,
C F
And lord, he ran her hard
A# F
She hauled those ore cars from the range
Gm C
Into the railroad yard
[Verse A-3]
F Dm
The tallow pot, he sweat and fed
A# F
That demon coal and more
Dm
She needed fuel, and fire and steam,
A# C F
To haul that iron ore.
[Verse B-2]
A# F
The mallet finally came to rest
C F
Inside the railroad shop
A# F
Nut splitters took good care of her
Gm C
Amidst the laugh and talk
[Verse A-4]
F Dm
Of men with pride who took their work
A# F
And did it fast and well
Dm
No longer does the din ring out
A# C F
Since that black day of hell
[Verse B-3]
A# F
The slings of slag john steel rail
C F
Won't crack the aching back
A# F
Those gandy dancers who used to lay
Gm C
The glisten railroad tracks
[Verse A-5]

My kith and kin were railroad folks
A# F
But now our town's in dread

I tell you true, I don't know what I'll do
A# C F
The railroad is dead
[Verse B-4]
A# F
No more to laugh or work with ore
C F
How long can I be brave?
A# F
The legend of the railroad
Gm C
Has settled in the grave
[Verse A-6]
F Dm
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
A# C F
Oh lord, what will I do?
