[Verse]
[Verse]
[Outro]
GWell I don't care about my sorrows
And I don't caCre about my woGes
I put my kneGes down in the sand
Down whDere that river flGows
I put my hanGds in the water
Up to my Celbows in the coGld
I let it waGsh my dirty face
Let it cDleanse my troubled sGoul
Well, my nGame is Hub Cale
And my hoCme is where ever I Glay
And I was boGrn to ride the rails
Ride the rDails ’til judgement Gday
[Pre Chorus]
My fCace is wrinkled and weGary
And rGough as railroad tDie
And when that tGrain come rumblin' through this town
I lDift my jug to the Gsky
[Chorus]
N.C.
Well I lift my my Jug to the sky oh lord Well, I lDift my jug to the sGky And when that nuGmber 9 come rollin' by I lDift my jug to the sGkyGFor I was an engineer
I made my lCivin' shovelin' coGal
Paid my duGes for 12 long years
Then one dDay they let meG go
And that tiGme it sure was rough
And the lCabor sure took its tGoll
For my luGngs are as black
As the fDeathers of the cGrow
[Pre Chorus]
Now I lCay underneath the treGstle
With my jGug of homemade rDye
And when that tGrain come rumblin' through this town
I lDift it up to the skGy
[Chorus]
N.C.
Well I lift my my Jug to the sky oh lord Well, I liDft my jug to the sGky And when that numGber 9 come rollin' by I lDift my jug to the sGkyGWell I don't care about my sorrows
And I don't caCre about my wGoes
I put my kGnees down in the sand
Down wDhere that river flGows
Down wDhere that river flGows
Oh Down wheDre that river flGows
