Letra
Hammer up, whisky down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
Tom Durant, he claimed my soul for a steam run beast and a bucket of coal
You can't go, don't be deceived, get on this rail line, you don't leave
They say these railroads run with gold, I've never seen so I'll never know
Take the hammer, leave the gun, and work till the Salt lake shore
Hammer up, whisky down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
Took my pay, did my time, served my sentence on the continental line
Left my wife and left my son, life seems over and it just begun
They say these railroads run with gold, I've never seen so I never know
Take the hammer, leave the gun, and work till the Salt lake shore
Hammer up, whisky down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
War tie tied south and north, a train heart beats on a boiler's warmth
Railroad binds east to west with the bloodstained dollars New York invest
They say these railroads run with gold, I've never seen so I never know
Take the hammer, leave the gun, and work till the Salt lake shore
Hammer up, whisk it down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
John Casement, the Geneva man, walks down the line with gun in hand
A dollar a day, some die, some run, says you can't leave when the work's not done
They say these railroads run with gold, I've never seen so I never know
Take the hammer, leave the gun, and work till the Salt lake shore
Hammer up, whisky down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
Hammer up, whisk it down, drive that spike straight to the ground
Another tie, another rail, keep on working over hill and dale
