Well later in the evening when the sun is sinking low

All day I've been waiting for the whistle to blow

Rolling them bones 'till the foreman come back

Pick up your belongings boys and scatter about

We got an off scheduled train coming two miles out

Can't stop the train we got to let it roll on
