lyrics

Hell on Wheels

Sing me home boys sing me home
Sing me home boys no more to roam
I’ve been travellin this road of bones
Sing me home boys sing me home

I came from a green and pleasant land
With a roadstone heart and blood on my hands
They signed me in and signed me up
I marched out on the dollar drop
Fought with the boys of the 69th
Didn’t know if I was dead or alive
I had to kill to live
Done some things only God will forgive
Workin on the railroad layin steel
Tamp ‘em up solid It’s Hell on Wheels

It all came back one cold dark night
three were dead by the morning light
The solemn toll of the church bell I rode out straight to hell
I’m on the run from desperate days
Ridin through the Desert Haze
Hound dogs on my heels I ended up in hell on wheels
