[Verse 1]
Well, this job I've got is a little too hard, well, uh-huh
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

[Chorus 1]
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)
Hey, I'm going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
The line, beat it on down the line

[Verse 2]
Yes, and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by, by
I'm going back where I belong
Yes, yeah, I'm going home to my same old used-to-be
Yeah, down in Joe Brown's coal mine, way down, now

[Chorus 2]
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Woah, way down now (Coal mine)
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Yeah, yeah, coal mine
Coal mine (Coal mine)
Yeah, yeah, coal mine
Well, now, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm going back to that shack way across the railroad track
Yeah, that's where I think I belong
Yes, I got a sweet woman, oh, waiting there for me
Yeah, and that's where I'm gonna make my happy home

[Outro]
Said happy home (Happy home)
Said happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy, said a happy (Happy home)
Happy, happy, happy home (Happy home)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Happy home)
Happy home now, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
