Lyrics:
Long blade shinin' in the moonlight Long blade shinin' in the moonlight The crosstie walker held the long-bladed knife The men circle 'round
a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run Run, run, run, run If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time If you see me acomin', don't you waste
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, Lord With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody Junior took me over Said, "You're gonna find the world
handle John Henry raised it back 'til it touched his heels then The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two Thirty-five cents a day for
a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run Run, run, run, run If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time If you see me acomin', don't you waste
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, Lord With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody Junior took me over Said, "You're gonna find the world
The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel "Sweat! Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!"
(He's the Streamlined Cannonball) A long steel rail a short crosstie I'm on my way back home I'm on the train the king of them all the Streamlined
my days, oh With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody, Junior took me over Said, "You're gonna find the World is smould'rin' And if you get
The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel "Sweat! Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!"
A long steel rail a short cross-tie I'm on my way back home I'm on the train the king of them all the Streamlined Cannonball Oh she climbs along
across Green River Well Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, yeah With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody Junior took me over Said,
(It's the Streamlined Cannonball) A long steel rail a short crosstie I'm on my way back home I'm on a train the king of them all the Streamlined
across Green River Well Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, yeah With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody Junior took me over Said,
days, yeah With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody, junior took me over Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin' And if you get lost
at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh, With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers. Old Cody, Junior took me over, Said, ""You're gonna find the world is
can't be tamed you'll see some day" Thought you'd stay away But we snuck past the mall to the crosstie yard Climbed up on the midnight train Looking up
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody, Junior took me over Said, 'You're gonna find the world
train Train, train, train, train Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down I'm just a cross-tie
the tides I set out walking just cross-tie walking Out on the cross-ties where I could step Sometimes I missed one Sometimes there was none Sometimes
at Cody's camp I spent my days now With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers Old Cody Junior took me over Said, "You're gonna find the world is smoldering
