Beat It On Down The Line
Lyrics: Jesse Fuller
Music: Jesse Fuller
Well this job I got, is just a little
too hard
Running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
I'm gonna wake up in the morning, Lord
I'm gonna pack up my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Beat it on down the line
Yes and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by
I'm going back where I belong
Yes and I'm goin' north to my same old used to be
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Yes I'm goin' back to that shack way across the railroad track
That's where I think I belong
Yes I got a sweet woman, Lord, she's waiting there for me
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
