My name is Cassidy from Blaney town
And my story I’d like to tell
About some hard work done long ago
While building the C&O
Moving lumber, dry goods and logs
Hogshead barrels treacle and rum
Can’t go by wagon the road’s to slow
So we’re building the C&O
We worked them all from Horsebeef to Dundee
from Gambo up to Harden’s and the Cotton Factory
My boys and I we were tighter than the treenails
We worked harder than the day is long
The agents would never know
We were working on the C&O
We built the locks boys we blasted rock
picks and shovels barrows and carts
Worked in the rain and sleet and snow
While working on the C&O
34 by 18 wide
Digging lock pits and setting sides
Moving earth and ballast stone
While working on the C&O
Those canal boats Champion, Flipjack
Pulled by Mules and horses on the old tow path
From the coast all the way up to Songo
Tom and Abe pulled with all they had
30 ton cargo they were working on the C&O
Tom Mahoney he met his end
While working on lock #10
The hitch weight failed and the block came down
Had to dig him half out of the ground
I tell ya boys it’s a tough way to go
For $2 a day’s the pay and a shanty town’s your home
The work is hard and the pay is low
So fare thee well boys I hear there’s work on the new railroad
I ain’t workin on the C&O no more
ain’t workin on the C&O

Well I’m getting older
Time is getting colder on this lonely heart of mine
140 Acres and how my back is aching
my fingers bent like those rusty tynes
I’m just working here out on the timberline
They said we couldn’t work it the land’s too high and rocky
snow’s too deep sun it hardly shines
After 30 years of farming I know there were some bad times
But I’ll take this life over any I can find
I’m just working here out on the timberline
My wife and I we worked the land
Til all the rows were planted filled
seeds and plants watered love and time
Now that she is gone but I still linger on
Tilling rows of sorrow in my mind
I’m just working here out on the timberline
Outside the wind is blowing
‘cross the rocky fields before me
weeds are growing like shadows in my mind
But I can’t stop working though my body’s hurting
I’m praying for a helping hand in time
I’m just working here out on the timberline
My prayers they may be answered
I watch the family working
rows of crops that I could not sow
But will we reap the harvest that the land could offer
Maybe then we can turn a dime
I’m just working here out on the timberline
We’re just working here out on the timberline

There used to be a time that you could find me
Dancing with her out at the Rusty Nail
Or maybe we would go out on a party
Take in the city lights upon Salt Hill
I don’t know why she left me like she did
It seemed to me that we were doing fine
But if you see her tell her that I’m sorry
I’d meet her at the station anytime
Chorus:
These days you won’t find me beneath the city lights
I’ll be home with a record on same song every night
I’ve been so alone blue since she let me down
You know where to find me on the outskirts of town
Lately it just seems like somethings missing
Out walking in the moonlight alone
I’ll tell you that the moonlight looked much brighter
With that girl that I loved so well
I hope she knows I’m at home waiting
The only lights I see are the lanterns glow
I’ll be here from now on until forever
Same old record on the radio
