For many, many years, I don't know just how long

Two Harbors was a booming railroad town

But '63 brought misery

And the town is black with mourn
[Verse A-2]

The great iron horse no more will trail

That straight and lonesome steel rail

Well I sat and cried the day the railroad died
E F# B
Oh lord, what will I do?
[Verse B-1]

The hoghead ran that iron horse,
F# B
And lord, he ran her hard

She hauled those ore cars from the range
C#m F#
Into the railroad yard
[Verse A-3]
B G#m
The tallow pot, he sweat and fed
E B
That demon coal and more

She needed fuel, and fire and steam,
E F# B
To haul that iron ore.
[Verse B-2]

The mallet finally came to rest
F# B
Inside the railroad shop

Nut splitters took good care of her
C#m F#
Amidst the laugh and talk
[Verse A-4]

Of men with pride who took their work

And did it fast and well

No longer does the din ring out
E F# B
Since that black day of hell

The slings of slag john steel rail

Those gandy dancers who used to lay

The glisten railroad tracks

Oh lord, what will I do?
