Lyrics: Jesse Fuller
Music: Jesse Fuller
Sung by Bob Weir with the Grateful Dead from the 1960s through to the 1990s.
Well this job I got, is just a little too hardNotes
Running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
I'm gonna wake up in the morning, Lord
I'm gonna pack up my bags
I'm gonna beat it on down the line
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Goin' down the line (goin' down the line)
Beat it on down the line
Yes and I'll be waiting at the station, Lord, when that train pulls on by
I'm going back where I belong
Yes and I'm goin' north to my same old used to be (note 1)
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine (coal mine)
Coal mine (coal mine)
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Yes I'm goin' back to that shack way across the railroad track
That's where I think I belong
Yes I got a sweet woman, Lord, she's waiting there for me
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
Happy home (happy home)
Happy home (happy home)
Happy home (happy home)
Happy home (happy home)
Happy home (happy home)
Happy home (happy home)
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home

Well this job I got, is just a little too hard
Talk about your money, Lord, I need some pay
Gonna wake up in the morning
Pack up my case
I'm gonna beat it on down the line
I'll be waiting at the station, when that train comes on down
Thumping on down the line
Well I'm goin' back to my same old used to be
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Yes I'm goin' back to my shack 'cross the railroad track
That's where I think I belong
Yes I got a sweet woman, Lord, she's waiting there for me
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
