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