Beat It On Down the Line Lyrics by Jesse Fuller

The Lone Cat

1961

[Verse 1]
This job I've got is a little bit too hard
Pennies in the money, little pay
Gonna wake up in the morning, pack my case
Beat it on down the line
[Chorus]
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Goin' down the line, goin' down the line
Gonna beat it on down the line
[Verse 2]
I'll be waiting at the station when the train comes along
Scamper on down the line
Lord, I'm going back to my used to be
Down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Chorus]
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Coal mine, coal mine
Goin' down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm going back to my shack 'cross the railroad track
That's where I think I belong
I got a sweet momma over there waiting for me
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
[Chorus]
Happy home, happy home
Happy home, happy home
Happy home
That's where I'm gonna make my happy home
[Instrumental]
