| Walkin' Down The Railroad Line Words and Music by Woody Guthrie Contact Publisher - Woody Guthrie Publications/BMG Chrysalis One foot up, other foot down. Aint got a job, aint got a cent, If I aint broke I’m badly bent. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down the railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down that railroad line. From Frisco Bay to old New York, I been a lookin for a job of work. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down the railroad line. Lord, Lord, a walkin down the railroad line. That Mississippi’s full of ice. I oughta know ‘cause I fell in twice. It’s Lord, Lord, a walkin’ down the railroad Line. It’s Lord, Lord, a walkin down the railroad line. That Susquehanah river was froze. Cold wind blowed right thru my clothes. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down that railroad line. It’s Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. When that passenger train come by, I seen how the rich folks ride. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Airplane flew above the earth. I wonder its got an empty berth? Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Big black car come down the road. A lady and a dog and a big fur coat. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. I’d give up road today For a honest job at honest pay, Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. I’d give up this ramblin life To own my home and a good warm wife. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. I hope there’s a town a long this line Where a job and a home and a gal I’ll fine. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. Its Lord, Lord, a walkin down a railroad line. © Copyright Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc. (BMI) Available on:
