Well the old iron trail is a railroad track it runs all over our land
C F G7 C
And I had traveled every foot of it before I was a man
F C G7
My daddy told me stories he told me some pretty wild tales
C F C G7 C
Of long ago when he was a beau and traveled the old iron trail
F C G7
And he said well there ain’t no sofas in a boxcar there ain’t no feather bed
C F G7 C
There ain’t no carpet for your feet no pillows to lay your head
F C G7
There ain’t no milk and honey there ain’t no beer and ale
C F C G7 C
Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail
F C G7
Well I’m just like my daddy there’s hobo blood in me
C F G7 C
And that old iron trail that he knew so well soon was a-callin’ me
F C G7
I traveled all over this country over ever hill and dale
C F C G7 C
Riding on an old boxcar I traveled the old iron trail
F C G7
I want’cha to know there ain't no sofas in a boxcar there ain’t no feather bed
C F G7 C
There ain’t no carpet for your feet no pillows to lay your head
F C G7
There ain’t no milk and honey there ain’t no beer and ale

Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail

Better listen to me boys it ain’t no life of Riley out there
Stay home never roam I know what I’m talking about
Wished I’d listened to my dad
He’s a lot smarter than I gave him credit for
F C G7
Yeah there ain’t no milk and honey there ain’t no beer and ale

Life is hell the bread is stale out on the old iron trail
