lyrics

Was a year without working
Living my days mouth to hand
Then that whistle came a calling
And carried me across this land

Devil Rail, once my savior
Only seeks my soul to rend
But this train keeps getting louder
Will this railroad ever end

All alone on our old homestead
Sits my wife and child to be
Will this wire from Western Union
Be all my child knows of me

Devil Rail, once my savior
Only seeks my soul to rend
But this train keeps getting louder
Will this railroad ever end

Oh Lord can you hear me
In this darkness where I stand
The light of hope only grows dimmer
Is this hammer all I am

Devil Rail, once my savior
Only seeks my soul to rend
But this train keeps getting louder
Will this railroad ever end
