Hang your head and come down lord
Gandy dancer don't sing no more
No more voices, no more calls
Big steel engine took it all
Up in the morning the rooster said
Swear one day I'm gonna kill him dead
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
Rusty water cool my thirst
Alabama sun don't kill me first
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
Hang your head and come down lord
Gandy dancer don't sing no more
No more voices, no more calls
Big steel engine took it all
I seen a picture of the boss man's wife
Stare too long take a year off your life
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
I got a girl in a shanty town
Her lips so red and her skin so brown
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
Hang your head and come down lord
Gandy dancer don't sing no more
No more voices, no more calls
Big steel engine took it all
Over in china they built them a wall
Thousand miles long and a hundred foot tall
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
When they was done they all stood back
Then came over here to help line on the track
Singing, "hey, hey, swing that steel in line"
Hang your head and come down lord
Gandy dancer don't sing no more
No more voices, no more calls
Big steel engine took it all
