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

Our sweat must be working just to fall.
