Sweet Carrie Lyrics - Dailey & Vincent - Dailey And Vincent

Hard work, low pay, tired aching back 

Earning by the sweat on my brow 

12 full hours in this manmade hole 

Doin what they taught me how 

Chorus 

Im a spike drivin railway son-of-a-gun 

Working on the southern line 

14 miles through this mountain side 

Working with sweet Carrie on my mind 

The boss mans mean hes full of hate 

Livin on the workers sweat 

The steaks he eats keeps him good and fat 

Soup beans is all we get 

Chorus 

From daylight to dark we work in the tunnel 

Scared of a bad cave-in 

Aint got enough eat to or money to buy with 

No insurance for our kin 

Chorus 2x
