C#2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
G#
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
C#2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
G#
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
C#2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
Fm G#
the boys on the line working just to eat.
C#2 G# D#
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
C#2
A# child working day and night,
Fm G#
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
C#2 G# D#
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
C#2 G# D# (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
Fm G# D# Fm C# D#
C#2
From the dear old age of Adam
G#
to the workers of Boaz,
C#2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
G# D#
yet it's made me who I am.
C#2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
G#
to the trucker and his load,
C#2
all feeding that old fat cat
G#
just hoping he'll explode.

We've been working for far too long.
Fm G# D#
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
Fm G# D#
Our sweat must be working just to fall.

I'm a slave to that whistle call.
