Spike Drivin Blues

   D
I musta been born

With steel in my hand
                A
Probably gonna die
                 D
A Spike Drivin' Man

 D
I just lay the rail

I don't drive a train
                       A
But if it jumps the track
                    D
I'm gonna hear my name

 D
Train master says

This train better roll
                     A
Gotta pull the big boss's
         D
cars of coal

 D
So I work all night

In the pouring rain
                  A
I hate the train master
Continúa después del anuncio
                  D
And I hate his train

 G
Trains roll on and on
       D
Don't never turn me lose
   Em
I toss and turn all night long
         Cadd9   G        D
Got the Spike Drivin Blues

 D
On my way home

Train blocks the road
                A
Always make me wait
             D
Make supper cold

 D
Then me and my wife

Go to sleep in our bed
                 A
'Till the high ball comes
               D
And wakes the dead

[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]

 D
Used to ride the caboose

Used to run the brake
                   A
'Till the bossman said
                D
that job aint' safe

 D
Now I'm back on the rail

A hammer in my hand
                  A
I know I'm gonna die
               D
A Spike Drivin' Man

[Repeat Chorus]
 D
Spike Drivin' Blues

Drive a man insane
                  A
I hate the train master
                D
And I hate his train
