[Verse 1]
Well, this job I've got is a little too hard
Well, uh-huh, I'm running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
Gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bag
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)
I'm 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)
Beat it on down the line

[Verse 2]
Yes, and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, whеn that train pulls on by
Well, I, I'm going back where I bеlong
Oh yes, and I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Uh-huh, down in Joe Brown's coal mine

[Chorus 2]
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Said, said coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey (Coal mine)
Coal mine, now, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Instrumental]

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

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