Leadbelly Can't You Line 'em
LININ' TRACK
(Traditional)
Ho, boys, is you right?
I done got right
All I hate about linin' track
These ol' bars 'bout to bust my back
Chorus:
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
Ho, boys, cancha line 'em track
Let's see Eloise go linin' track
Down in the holler below the field
Angels are workin' on my chariot wheel
Chorus
Mary and the baby were settin' in the shade
Thinkin' of the money that I ain't made
Chorus
Well, I bin on the river, nineteen and ten
But I didn't have no women like the drivin' men
Chorus
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
He was battin' at the waves with a two-by-four
Chorus
Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Chorus
Mary, Marthy, Luke and John
Well all them 'ciples now they're dead and gone
Chorus
Well you keep talkin' 'bout the break ahead
Ain't said nothin' 'bout my hog an' bread
Chorus
Ho, boys, is you right?
I done got right
All I hate about linin' track
These ol' bars 'bout to bust my back
Chorus
