Beat It On Down the Line Live at Fox Theatre St. Louis MO December 10 1971 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, this job I've got is a little too hard
I’m running out of money, Lord, I need more pay
Gonna wake up in the morning, Lord, I'm gonna pack my bag
I'm gonna beat it on down the line

[Chorus 1]
I’m going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Hey, I'm going down the line (Going down the line)
Going down the line (Going down the line)
Hey, uh-huh, well now, beat it on down the line

[Verse 2]
Yes, and I'll be waiting at thе station, Lord, when that train pulls on by
I, I'm going back where I bеlong
Hey, and I'm going north to my same old used-to-be
Hey, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
[Chorus 2]
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Whoa, coal mine (Coal mine)
I said coal mine (Coal mine)
Hey, hey, coal mine (Coal mine)
Yeah, yeah (Coal mine)
Yeah, yeah (Coal mine)
Coal mine, well now, down in Joe Brown's coal mine
Go on and rock on now

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm going back to that shack way across the railroad track
Uh-huh, that’s where I think I belong
Yes, I got a sweet woman, Lord, and she’s waiting there for me
Yeah, and that's where I’m gonna make my happy home

[Outro]
I said happy home (Happy home)
Whoa, happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy home (Happy home)
Said a happy, said a happy (Happy home)
Happy, happy, happy home (Happy home)
Yeah, yeah (Happy home)
Happy home, well now, that's where I'm gonna make my happy home
