All Down the Line

[Verse 1]

Yeah, heard the diesel drumming all down the line

Oh, heard the wires-a-humming all down the line

Yeah, hear the women sighing all down the line

Oh, hear the children crying all down the line

[Chorus 1]

(All down the line)

We'll be watching out for trouble, yeah

(All down the line)

Keep the motor running, yeah

Well, you can't say yes and you can't say no

Just be right there when the whistle blows

I need a sanctified girl with a sanctified mind to help me now

[Verse 2]

Yeah, all the people singing all down the line

Mmmm, watch the men all working, working, yeah (All down the line)

[Chorus 2]

(All down the line)

You're gonna open up the throttle, yeah

(All down the line)

We're going to bust another bottle, yeah

(All down the line)

I need a shot of salvation, baby, once in a while

Hear the whistle blowing, hear it for a thousand miles

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

(All down the line)

You're gonna open up the throttle, yeah, yeah

(All down the line)

We're going to bust, bust, bust another bottle, yeah

Well, you can't say yes, and you can't say no

Just be right there when the whistle blows

I need a sanctified mind to help me out right now

[Outro]

Won't you be my little baby for a while?

Won't you be my little baby for a while?

Won't you be my little baby for a while?

Won't you be my little baby?
