[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
Well, this job I've got
Is a little too hard, hard
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: Jerry Garcia, (Bandmates)]
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)
Yeah, I'm going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Yeah, beat it on down the line

[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
Yes, and I'll be waiting
At the station, Lord
When that train pulls on by, hey hey hey
Listen, I'ma going back where I belong
Yeah
And now I'm going north
To my same old used-to-be
Hey
Well, down in Joe Brown's
Coal mine
[Chorus 2: Jerry Garcia, (Bandmates)]
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (Coal mine)
Said a coal mine (Coal mine)
Yeah-eah, coal mine (Coal mine)
Said coal mine (Coal mine)
Oh my (Oh my)
Said coal mine (Coal mine)
Oh my (Oh my)
Yeah
Down in Joe Brown's
Coal mine

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]
Yes, I'm going back
To that shack, yeah
Way across the railroad track
Uh huh, that's where I think I belong
Yes, I got a sweet woman
Lord, she's waiting there for me
Yeah, and that's a-where I'm gonna make my happy home

[Outro: Jerry Garcia, (Bandmates)]
I said happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, a happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy home (Happy home)
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah (Happy home)
Happy home, now
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
