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 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 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
