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

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

I'm a slave to that whistle call.
