On The Railroad
By the Longest Johns
Teach the chorus at a normal speed.
At the first verse start excruciatingly slow and progressively speed up each verse.
The last few choruses repeat until you're going as fast as possible. End it before it completly descends into chaos, but get as close as possible
LYRICS
CHORUS
Picking up coal and we're picking up speed
Shovel as much as the engine needs
Sweat and blood gonna earn my pa-a-a-ay
All the way to Frisco Bay!
Give me a spade, and I'll give you a hole (hole!)
Way-oh on the railroad
Dirt on my brow, but steel in my soul
Way-oh on the railroad
CHORUS
Blowing through hills, tryna make up time (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
Ain't nothing gonna stand in the way of our line (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
CHORUS
Boss man says that a mile-a-day's the pace (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
I'll make two for the look on his face (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
CHORUS
Surveyors tryna plan which route is best (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
Just draw a straight line from east to west (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
CHORUS
We spare no quarter, and we'll spare no man (whuh!)
Way-oh on the railroad
Just pray we don't run into the Cheyenne
Way-oh on the railroad
CHORUS x until it starts to dissolve into chaos
