[Verse 1]
Well, this job I've got is just a little too hard
I'm running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
I'm gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bags
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)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Yes, I'm going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Well, huh, well now, I'll beat it on down the line

[Verse 2]
Guessin' I'll be waitin'
At thе station, Lord, when that train pulls on by, by
I'm going back where I bеlong
Yes and I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Yes and down in Joe Brown's coal mine

[Chorus 2]
Said coal mine (Coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (Coal mine)
Said coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (Coal mine)
Coal mine, well now
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm going back to that shack way across the railroad track
Uh-huh, that's where I think I belong
Yes, and I, got a sweet woman, Lord, she's waiting there for me
Well, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home

[Chorus 3]
I said happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, happy home (Happy home)
Said happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy
Said a happy, happy, happy, happy home (Happy home)
Yeah, happy home (Happy home)
Happy home, well now
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
