Keep your weight on the dead man's handle Or the wheels won't hold the rail Keep your weight on the dead man's handle Or the steam brake's bound to fail She'll jump boys and she'll slip If your hand should lose it's grip On the dead man's handle The dead man's handle The dead man's handle Keep your mind on the journey's end Remember all of your skills and learning Gonna need them now Remember all of your words of warning Gonna need them now There's just one bridge left to cross Keep her moving or the day is lost The dead man's handle The dead man's handle The dead man's handle Keep your mind on the journey's end Look down, look down, look down The valley is burning, fire without end Look down, look down, look down And you'll never get back on the tracks again Keep your weight on the dead man's handle Till you see that the day is won Too many's the foolish man who's fallen 'Cause he jumped the gun See ahead, your brother stands Ease the brake, stretch out your hand The dead man's handle The dead man's handle The dead man's handle Keep your mind on the journey's end Keep your weight on the dead man's handle Or the wheels won't hold the rail Keep your weight on the dead man's handle Or the steam brake's bound to fail Oh, she'll jump boys and she'll slip If your hand should lose it's grip On the dead man's handle The dead man's handle The dead man's handle Keep your mind on the journey's end Ah, keep your mind on the journey's end
