Well, this job I've got is just a little too hard,
Runnin' out of money, Lord, I need more pay.
Gonna wake up in the mornin', Lord, gonna pack my bag
I'm gonna beat it on down the line.

I'm 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 a'goin' back where I belong.
I'm goin' back to that 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.
Yeah, I'm goin' back to that shack that's 'way across the
Railroad track.
Uh huh, that's where I think I belong.

I got a sweet woman, Lord, she's waitin' there for me,
And 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.
