I took a job on an ex-tra gang

a-way up in the moun-tains.

I paid my fee and the man shipped me

And the ties I soon was coun-tin'

verse 2
Well the boss put me to driving spikes,
And the sweat was enought to blind me,
He didn't seem to like my face,
So I left that job behind me.

verse 3
I grabbed ahold of an old freight train
And around this country traveled,
The mysteries of a hobo's life
To me were soon unraveled.

verse 4
I traveleed east and I traveled west
And the shacks could never find me,
Next morning I was miles away
From the job I left behind me.

verse 5
Well, I ran across a bunch of stiffs
Who were known as Industrial Workers,
They taught me how to be a man,
And how to fight the shirkers.

verse 6
I kicked right in and joined the bunch,
And now in the ranks you'll find me.
Hooray for the cause the hell with the boss,
And the job I left behind me.
