F2
Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell.
C
Down the mighty Mississipp' where the raging waters swell.
F2
In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell,
C
I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell.
F2
With a silver spoon breaking my teeth,
Am C
the boys on the line working just to eat.
F2 C G
Are you picturing the stories that I sing?
F2
D child working day and night,
Am C
a father turned into a ghostly sight,
F2 C G
the wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
F2 C G (pause)
of a poor man just trying to remain
as he pays his toll of pain.
Am C G Am F G
F2
From the dear old age of Adam
C
to the workers of Boaz,
F2
We've been doomed to sing this crazy song,
C G
yet it's made me who I am.
F2
From the steel workers in Pittsburgh,
C
to the trucker and his load,
F2
all feeding that old fat cat
C
just hoping he'll explode.

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

I'm a slave to that whistle call.
