Well, this job I've got is a little too hard
I'm running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
Gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line
I'm going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Yes, I'm going down the line (going down the line)
Going down the line (going down the line)
Well, huh, well now, beat it on down the line
Yes, and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by
I, I'm going back where I belong
Yes, and I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Yes now, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
I said coal mine (coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (coal mine)
I said coal mine (coal mine)
I said coal mine (coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (coal mine)
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah (coal mine)
Coal mine, well now, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Yes, I'm going back to that shack way across the railroad track
Uh-huh, that's where I think I belong
Yes, I got a sweet woman, Lord, yeah, she's waiting there for me
Hey now, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
I said happy home (happy home)
Whoa, happy home (happy home)
Said happy home (happy home)
Said a happy, said a happy (happy home)
Happy, happy, happy home (happy home)
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah (happy home)
Happy home, well now, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
