D Bm D Bm
Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh
[Verse A-1]
D Bm
For many, many years, I don't know just how long
G D
Two Harbors was a booming railroad town
Bm
But '63 brought misery
G D
And the town is black with mourn
[Verse A-2]
Bm
The great iron horse no more will trail
G D
That straight and lonesome steel rail
Bm
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
Em A
Into the railroad yard
[Verse A-3]
D Bm
The tallow pot, he sweat and fed
G D
That demon coal and more
Bm
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
Em A
Amidst the laugh and talk
[Verse A-4]
D Bm
Of men with pride who took their work
G D
And did it fast and well
Bm
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
Em A
The glisten railroad tracks
[Verse A-5]
D Bm
My kith and kin were railroad folks
G D
But now our town's in dread
Bm
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
Em A
Has settled in the grave
[Verse A-6]
D Bm
That was my life and now it's spent
G D
The company said to spare expense
D Bm
Well, I sat and cried the day the railroad doed
G A D
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Outro]
Bm D Bm
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh
D
Oooh
