A2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
E
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
A2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
E
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
A2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
C#m E
the boys on the line working just to eat.
A2 E B
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
A2
F# child working day and night,
C#m E
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
A2 E B
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
A2 E B (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
C#m E B C#m A B
A2
From the dear old age of Adam
E
to the workers of Boaz,
A2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
E B
yet it's made me who I am.
A2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
E
to the trucker and his load,
A2
all feeding that old fat cat
E
just hoping he'll explode.

C#m E B
We've been working for far too long.
C#m E B
We've been doomed to hear this lowly song for our sons.
C#m E B
Our sweat must be working just to fall.
A2 E B
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
A2 E B
I'm a slave to that whistle call.
