Hands of Iron

This is a story about a man and his crew

Strong young boys and the man was strong too

When he calls their names, they start to work by the train

Sledgehammers start to fall

They're using their hands to build iron tracks

Working hard, never time to relax

A boy got insane after having his brain

Overheated by the sun

Hundred men with the grace of god

Building with hands of iron

Just another day at the railroad tracks

Working til the sun goes down

Digging shallow holes for the sleepers to lie

Away from home where the women cries

If the ground start to shake like a mighty earthquake

Still the rails are standing strong

Hundred men with the grace of god

Building with hands of iron

Just another day at the railroad tracks

Working til the sun goes down

Hurry up hurry up hurry up

We should be finished by noon

Hurry up hurry up hurry up

Because we're leaving soon

Hundred men with the grace of god

Building with hands of iron

Just another day at the railroad tracks

Working til the sun goes down

Hundred men with the grace of god

Building with hands of iron

Just another day at the railroad tracks

Working til the sun goes down
