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

Well, I sat and cried the day the railroad doed
G# A# D#
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Outro]
