Swannanoa Tunnel

1 6m

Trains gotta run from the Rowan county

1 5 1

The land’s run dry baby the land’s run dry

How you gonna get that line over the mountain

Gonna dig right through baby gonna dig right through

1 6m

The Ashville Junction and the Swannanoa tunnel

1 5 1

All caved in baby all caved in

6m

I’m goin’ back to the Swannanoa tunnel

1 5 1

That’s my home baby that’s my home

And when you hear that watch dog howlin’

Somebody’s ’round baby somebody’s ’round

And when you hear that hoot owl squallin’

Another man’s gone baby another man’s gone

Well this old hammer It rings like silver

And it shines like gold baby shines like gold

Throw this hammer in the Swannanoa river

It’ll ring right on baby it’ll ring right on

When you hear that mountain blowin’

Another man’s gone baby another man’s gone

When you hear that mountain cryin’

The train rolls on baby the train rolls on
